The place is situated right across from a creek on a one way road - good thing to remember! The one bedroom home is very nice, well lit with sky lights, nicely appointed, extra towels, comforters, and linens. There is a sofa bed in the living room not mentioned in the listing - a nice plus. The backyard is charming with a swinging bench and mostly covered in redwood decking. You have all the amenities you'd expect in a home.
The walk to the beach is 10 minutes, not 5 - no biggie. But, be careful as there are no side walks and drivers have a tenancy to drive fast, even around the blind spots.
Initially the host was very helpful and responsive. There is a two night minimum and a $55 cleaning fee. I don't know what the cleaning fee covers because the host asked for an additional $300 for three hours of cleaning after we left the property. $100/hr for cleaning?? It was just the three of us (my girlfriend and 4 year old) and we didn't leave the place a mess. I have not received a response to my request for what the $55 cleanibg fee covers or an itemization for the additional $300 request. So, I hope it's just a misunderstanding. Otherwise I highly recommend this place.
