Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed our stay! The view and sounds of the ocean were wonderful! The bed was very comfortable! I slept wonderfully with the sliding glass door open! The complex is quiet. Super easy access to the beach! Decor is a bit dated, but place was very clean which is super important to us!

Very good view from a well furnished and updated condo. Foggy nearly the entire stay, but had a very good time. Would stay in this unit again. FYI. Owner might want to check out a new kitchen sink faucet which is stuck on spray mode only.

Fantastic stay!

We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous, beautifully-located condo overlooking the Pacific Ocean! Communication with the owner was fantastic when we had an issue with one of the tv’s (a previous guest’s issue). Definitely will stay here again soon!

Comfy with great view

We had a great stay overall—beautiful view and the place was very clean. However, I was disappointed to find that the duvet and pillows didn’t seem to have been cleaned--ever. The duvet, in particular, was extremely dirty, which was a letdown after seeing how spotless the rest of the home was. Thankfully, I found clean blankets in the closet and used those instead. I’d strongly recommend the owner either replace the comforter with a washable one or ensure it’s laundered between guests. It’s a small change that would make a big difference.
