The bed in the room was a single double bed, not a queen-size bed. I paid for a week's stay but only stayed two nights. It's a great place for couples, the location is fantastic, just minutes' walk from the beautiful beach , and the hostess, Janet, was very nice

This is my second time staying at this spot, and there is a reason why I have stayed here twice! This spot is so cute and cozy and is just a short walk across the street to the beach. The place is so clean and that is so important to me. It’s also a plus that this place has a garage for a vehicle. I would definitely come back to this place!

Great location and property. The studio was cozy and well-equipped for guests. Clear check-in and in-home directions made the stay seamless. Location is outstanding and everything you need is walkable but having the garage is a great option as well. Comfortable bed and bedding. Would stay here again, and again.

Really liked this place. It’s small, nothing crazy but definitely gets the job done. Garage is very very small. Had a mini cooper and barely fit but that’s okay. I’d stay here again.

Everything we needed!

The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. Walk to the beach across the road and up a block, super easy. Nice outdoor courtyard to sit in outside when not on the beach. Walk to restaurants and shops. The only issue was our noisy neighbors our first two nights. I contacted the owner and she was quick to respond. I know you can’t control everyone’s behavior, but the neighbors did not look old enough to be renting a VRBO. Once they were gone, it was nice and quiet. We enjoyed our stay!

I liked the beach accessibility close by within walking distance, the ability to drive a short distance and cook in the fully equipped kitchen, the comfort of the bed, and having beach chairs and beach towels and beach umbrella provided to take to the beach for the day. The bathroom tiled shower was great, except that you had to take the spray nozzle off the shower head to use. The garage was small, but allowed us to put our small car in the garage during street cleaning days! There were thin walls, so it caused people to hear someone talking next to them in the adjoining unit. The small couch and chair were leather and were comfortable, except excessive use causes the person to slide forward. It was hard to use the covered patio table & chairs - which was very nice - because four units shared the same space!
