This is a fantastic little beach place and steps from the beach. However, in fairness, it is not "oceanfront". The photograph shown here is taken from (I believe) the roof of this building which is not a view from this unit nor is the rooftop accessible from this unit... there is a "fair" beach view when standing on the deck just outside the sliding glass door (but not enough space for chairs, etc). Nonetheless, this IS the beach just steps away and we enjoyed it a lot! For the price, you cannot expect "oceanfront" and thus, I still give it 5 stars. The place itself is clean, gorgeous bathroom, well-appointed kitchen, ample towels, beach chairs, outdoor shower, bbq, and a courtyard that was sufficiently large enough for our bikes. While still a 5 star given the quality, location, and price, there are a few items that I believe you want to be aware of so that you properly set your expectations. The bedroom is tiny... barely room to walk around the bed. The pull out sofa could use a new mattress, and the drapes at the sliders are strangely way too long. Overall, minor inconveniences when weighing out the value. The area is spectacular. We watched the meteor showers from the beach each night and we rented bikes for our entire stay from Shark's Cove Dive and Snorkel shop. There is a wonderful lush bike path off of the highway that parallels the ocean which we took all over and were able to find plenty of snorkel and swim spots. The surf at our beach was too rough for swimming while we were there but is known for surfing (but again we used our bikes to get everywhere we wanted to be and thus, saw a lot more of the area and experienced other beaches/coves). We would walk the miles of beach each morning and night. I only needed the owners attention once but Marla was "on the spot" and immediately redirected me to solve my problem, There is also a grocery store at Shark's Cover -- very convenient! I loved this little place and would definitely rent it again when looking for a comfortable place for two (max 3) adults. It accommodated two of us with our own sleeping spaces very well. One last local treat I would recommend... don't miss Ted's Bakery -- home of the Famous Chocolate Cream Haupia Pie and Coconut Cake! Yummmmmm!
