Merritt's place is so close to the beach you really can hear the waves break at night. It's very well located whether you're exploring the SC shoreline, checking out the city or making a trip down to Monterey or Carmel. Merritt is welcoming and full of great recommendations. As mentioned (July 2021) due to Covid you only have access to the room and bathroom in the house. Merritt had a cooler with ice ready for us so it wasn't an issue, just something to keep in mind. The room was spacious enough for two people and there's a folding table tucked in the closet to work.
The local beach nearby is awesome and quiet at nights and in the morning. The vibes can't be beat.
