Our stay in Matt's place was great - it's as described and there were no unpleasant surprises. The beach is right next to the apartment. You will have to take the car to go to eat though. We bought groceries at a nearby Safeway (5 min by car) and stayed in.

Our only complaints are that the apartment was quite dirty when we got there so we cleaned the floors ourselves twice, and there was some dust too. Also, the lighting in the kitchen area was very poor, not ideal if you are cooking.

We would stay there again though, it was really good value and we enjoyed our stay there.
