The unit was awesome. Spotless to clean spacious. Full kitchen. Nice outdoor seating for breakfast. A three minute walk to the beach. Plenty of free street parking. Communication with the owner was perfect. Fantastic location. You don’t even have to move your car so much to do within walking distance.

Wonderful!

We had a lovely stay at this property! The location was perfect, just a quick walk to the beach and surrounded by many shops and restaurants! The property manager was very helpful when we needed to store our bags before checkin as well as accommodating our need for a late check out! Definitely recommend!

Nice place for a couple to stay. Short distance from the beach, unit was clean and had all the necessities and then some. Walking distance from both piers. Garage is small and a sedan won't fit. (Car rental companies fault, not the hosts.) Just noting as street parking can add up, so make sure you get a true compact if you want to avoid the hassle.

Great Location!

The check in/out process was so easy, well stocked and we loved the location right between the Ocean and Bay, we watched the boat parade right behind the Unit. I would however suggest having a couple blankets stocked in the Closet, it got a bit chilly at night. I would definitely recommend this Unit and come back to stay again.

Nice Studio!

I stayed here for a week while visiting family in the area. This studio, while basic, had everything I needed and is great for one person. It was clean and the owners communicated well. I had no problem finding convenient street parking. I would stay here again.

Great little place. Loved the location. Only things that could be improved would be a bigger bathroom and shower and smaller kitchen. And rug under bed. It also smelled like smoke when AC wasn’t on (when we first got there).

Fantastic location, very clean, comfortable bed, everything worked. It was perfect for my wife and I. It was nice to have access to the garage to put our rented bikes in at night. Wish we could have stayed longer. My son got married at Marina Park a few blocks down the road. Easy walk to the ocean or the bay. Would stay here again if we have the chance to visit again.
