This was a mother/daughter vacation to see my son and his wife. I will start with the pro’s: the place had a spacious living room. the locations is amazing!! There is one house in between you and the beach but you have partial ocean views from the house and deck. You also have partial Mountain View’s from the house. There is a private gate right there on the beach access. The beach is oh 50 steps or so from the gate. Although it is a public access location, I would say it wasn’t highly trafficked. The beach area seems to be locals mostly and was t crowded at all (not sure if that was a Covid deal) There is an outside shower area with hot/cold water to clean off the sand before you head into the beach house. That was convenient to help minimize the sand brought in. There is parking for two cars right there which was great as we borrowed my daughter in law car and they would come over in my sons car. Shelly the host was super friendly and helpful! The microwave didn’t work and once I notified her she was able to trade it out. There is a stove (note only two burners work) and that was handy to make some home cooked meals. There was some pans for cooking, along with dishes. Beach towels, chairs, toys were available for us to use. Also had a washer/dryer available. Also has a dishwasher. Would get a nice ocean breeze. The mattress appeared to be newer.
The cons:the first three beach chairs we took down to the beach were broke, the bathroom outlet had no power, the bathroom sink did not have a stopper (easy to lose an earring or small cap), two burners on the stove didn’t work, the screens were torn out. Dishes in the cabinet were dirty, there was a moldy smell in the room with twin beds and ants on the beds. Maybe the ants normal, we didn’t take any food into the rooms to try and prevent any bugs. The host lives below, I was concerned at times we might be a little loud as we would stay up playing cards at night as we were on vacation. We spend the days on the beach soaking up the sun and water but in the evenings spend time as a family. The couch and table and chairs weren’t very comfortable. Again, we spend a lot of time in the evening playing cards/games maybe others wouldn’t even notice.
My only other note would be to make sure communication is clear. We were having a hard time leaving my kids (and the weather was beautiful) so we stayed two extra days with a late check out as we had a late over night flight and wanted as much time on the beach as possible. I was told wouldn’t be a problem and to text when we were leaving so they could get the trash out. Sunday around noon got a call saying late checkout would cost. I didn’t plan or have in the budget so I was told we had to get out right away.
If your focus is beach location and that was a big part of my focus this place has that! Again also spacious, easiest could sleep 6 with an air mattress.
