This is one of most beautiful Airbnbs we have ever stayed in. We stayed here for 4 nights with our kindergartner, who fell in love with this place & was terribly upset when we had to checkout.
The host was thorough in her communications, very responsive, thoughtful in furnishing the place with every imaginable item. This would be a great place for long term stay as well.
The ocean view is amazing. You can hear the waves throughout the day while in the living area or kitchen.
The Rio Del Mar beach is 5 min walk away. The host had beach chairs, sand toys & a beach umbrella in the garage.
This is not a water front property, you can still walk upto the beach in 5 min. The road downhill to the beach is paved, or you could drive up to the beach parking lot in a minute.
Now, the interior decor is exquisite! The entire apartment (esp the living area) is very well lit during the day, thanks to the abundant natural light. The kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of seating in the living room & the spare bedroom.
The bedroom size is generous. Both bedroom have king Beds, ample closet space, and the bedding is luxurious.
Overall: it beat all our expectations.
Only con, if I had to nitpick : the garage is small, fit for a compact or midsize sedan. If you have suv / minivan, you may have to park on the street. And that parking could be a little difficult to find, depending on the time of the day.
