Melissa's place was wonderful. With a gated courtyard leading to the pool, it blocked some of the street noise. We also had our own private yard in the back of our unit. The beach was a few blocks away but we managed to find parking along some side streets and there is a dog friendly park with access to water a few blocks from the townhouse. All of the neighbors were very friendly and Melissa and her husband were super responsive when there was an issue with the hot water tank and a missing can opener. We loved it and will definitely be back!
