The location is great, especially with Trader Joe's across the street. The duplex is comfortable, with a small kitchen (fully stocked) and living room. Bedrooms are a decent size and the beds and pillows were comfortable. There is plenty of parking (we have a van with 2 e-bikes on the hitch) and the shared laundry is detached near the garage. Wifi is very stable, especially when we needed it for our kid's distance learning.
While not that close to the beach, it's really just a straight shot down any of the nearby streets. If cycling, it depends on your tolerance of traffic, so we ended up just driving with the bikes on the hitch to the beach.
The gift basket was a very thoughtful touch, along with a binder of suggestion on where to go. We would definitely stay here again. Carolyn is a great host!
