ON THE ROCKS! Oceanfront, 1st floor with a million dollar view and a pool!

ON THE ROCKS! Oceanfront, 1st floor with a million dollar view and a pool!

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this little place and had everything we needed. The view was even better than we had imagined and the weather was perfect! We can’t speak to the pool because it didn’t appear to be within eyeshot of the unit, but we didn’t need it anyway, as the beach was right there! We did wish to spend more time on the porch, but the neighbors were smoking cigarettes, and we couldn’t breathe, so that was gross and kind of a bummer, though obviously no fault of the owner. We thought the unit was precious, loved the view, location and we’d love to stay there again, if we knew we could breathe in fresh air, on the porch. Maybe an oscillating fan on the porch could help?"
