"There was staff there that came in every morning to straighten up. They would wash the dishes, clean our laundry, make the beds, and take out trash. It was so nice to be able to come back from surfing and have a clean place every day. They had a market within the neighborhood where we were able to buy some essentials and also rent equipment for Pickleball or volleyball. The host wasn’t the most responsive with getting back right away through chat, but the staff was able to help with everything and took care of all of our knees so we didn’t lack anything. Amazing staff. Overall great experience and I would love to go back and stay again another time."
