We had a great stay at Shannon's place! The neighbourhood has such a great vibe, it was always vibrant and busy when we went out, bustling with patrons of the 2 restaurants and the surf shop on the corner. The surf shop had a great deal on a beach umbrella & 2 chairs - $15 a day! That's a steal when you're looking at up to $85 a day on main beach/ hotel strip. We ate at restaurant on the top floor one night, where we had a yummy dinner with amazing live music. The unit itself is just as you see in the photos.. very clean and with lots of amenities. The kitchen with the little fridge was perfect for our groceries, so we could save a bit of $ by not eating out all the time. The sink faucet sprayer was great, making cleanup a breeze. There are 2 chairs and a small table on the lanai (balcony) for relaxing with morning coffee, meals, or drinks in the afternoon. There is considerable noise from the restaurants below, but we didn't mind. In fact we enjoyed the music drifting up and the sounds of people having fun. Oh, keep in mind if you are drying bathing suits or towels on the balcony... it can get really windy. We actually lost a small towel that we brought one night, it just disappeared overnight with the wind. So weigh things down if you can. The room comes with black out curtains, which were great for keeping out the light if you wanted to get some extra sleep. The bed was comfy, and the large cabinet has lots of hangers (yay) and plenty of room to fit a carry-on and most (if not all) your belongings. The bathroom is small, but met our needs just fine. The unit and building front door open with a keypad, so after a couple of times coming and going, we had it memorized. So easy. When you come into the unit, there is a door closer, but the door can catch and not close properly, so just make sure you give it a push to close it all the way and use the lock. The location of the building could not be more perfect - so close to the beach and convenient to just about everything you can imagine. We did order groceries from Safeway though, since the couple of shops nearby were pricey and not much selection. We ordered through Instacart, it was very handy. All in all, we loved our stay at Shannon's. Whenever we had a question, she answered really quickly and was very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again :)
