This unit is part of a complex that looks to be relatively new. I think some early reviews mentioned the other units may not be finished, but that’s not the case anymore. The unit was beautiful, spacious and modern. We really liked the kitchen and enjoyed cooking meals there. The rainfall shower head in the shower was also a nice touch!
The proximity to Manresa beach and the small residential area of La Selva was nice. We went for many walks with our dog there. While we couldn’t use it, we appreciated the parking pass for the state beach that was provided to guests.
Monica was very responsive in the booking process and quickly addressed a maintenance issue with the sliding door the same day we noticed it.
There were a few quirks. None were an issue for us but may help other travelers when considering:
- As others mentioned, it is on a pretty busy road and both bedrooms face the street (and get flashed by headlights driving by). Not a problem for us, but if you are a light sleeper or bothered by light, keep that in mind. However during the weekdays it wasn’t too bad and I even felt comfortable walking to Manresa along the road (though not with kids).
- the front door leads into a bedroom. Most of the time, you can use the sliding glass door to enter/exit, but may be relevant if you have children. We didn’t use that bedroom so it didn’t impact us.
- no dishwasher or washer dryer was available (which is clear in the listing, but just wanted to flag since it would have been nice for washing beach clothes if it was there).
- if you have a dog, the yard is fenced but not fully enclosed. There’s no gate at the main entrance and one corner has a large gap between the fence and the ground. We did end up just moving some chairs around to make sure our pup couldn’t get out
- there is a tv (even though not mentioned in the listing) and cable, but it’s mounted pretty high up.
Even with the quirks we enjoyed it and would be happy to return.
