Great place in a great spot

Having the parking spot at all times is key. The location of this place is key. The TV is older, radio works and there is a VHS/DVD player only so bring some entertainment for when you are there (tablets, portable bluetooth speaker etc). It’s very cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will book it again when we go back!

Good trip

Great property, balcony is fantastic, I would like to see seating and tables on the balcony cleaner. Probably difficult to maintain with the proximity to the ocean air.

We love this place!

My boyfriend and I had the best week stay at this place! The private balcony/deck was an amazing bonus and allowed us to enjoy the perfect weather. Everything about the place exceeded our expectations. One thing worth noting is that you are very close to the train station which can be loud throughout the day, but still well worth it! We plan on coming to stay again as soon as possible :)

So Close to Everything

We were a group of 4 adults in town for a wedding at the Hotel Californian and this was maybe a 4 minute walk away. It was the perfect location to be close to everything while also having privacy. The balcony/porch was amazing!!! And the hosts have thought of everything. Every little detail was taken care of and it made our stay so fun and easy.
