The proximity to the beach is excellent. It's a short walk to many shops and restaurants. The home contained everything you need to feel comfortable. We came during a particularly rainy couple of days, and there was an ant issue in the bathroom and back bedroom while we were there. The owner suggested we spray some Raid, but I wasn't really comfortable with that, so we just tried to coexist with the ants, and the spiders who came along to have a snack. Overall the interior could really benefit from a fresh coat of paint, and maybe some new blinds. The blinds in the back bedroom are not privacy, so at night someone enjoying the view from the rooftop behind, could easily see into that room. The parking was right in front, but our giant SUV couldn't turn around in the alley so we ended up backing out onto the street behind us every time we left the house. However, the street was always quiet so it didn't cause any issues. Overall our stay was very pleasant and we would stay again.
