Short walk to the beach.

We liked our stay at the upstairs penthouse. It was a short walk to the dog beach. The morning view goes with your favorite coffee. We will come back next chance we get. If you're a party of two with a small pet. we definitely recommend.

The upstairs unit was nice with a great ocean view from the kitchen and the bedroom was comfortable. Unfortunately, Labor Day morning, loud construction started on the unit below at 7:45 a.m. and we had to leave sooner than we would have if not for the noise (our instructions were quiet hours were 9:00 pm to 9:00 a.m.)

Great Beach House

This beach house is excellent. Short walking distance to the beach. The view is great. The bed is very comfortable. There is a full kitchen that make it easy to plan your own meals.Bit the best part of this unit is its owner and how they go out of their way to make sure you have a great time! Thank You!

Great location and clean inside the apartment. Beautiful view! Communicative and helpful hosts. Small improvements could make this place a solid 5. Suggested improvements: Lighting on the outside at the step (currently it has to be triggered around the corner after the steps), a bed frame that is not on wheels (bed itself is comfortable), a solution for the ant problem, new carpet/paint in dank stairwell, and a bedside lamp/table on right side of the bed (I had to buy a clip light so we could both read). A clean up outside would be nice too (the beach chairs are dirty and worn). Everything else is great! We enjoyed our stay overall and would stay again.

Amazing location, lovely modern place

It has a lot of space, modern amenities and actually all the amenities I could want in the kitchen, including a toaster oven. The location is superb because it's around the corner from Sunny cove, which means it's close, but on a street with no beach goers-- So it's quiet. (The bedroom windows do look out onto the street so there are some noises.) The dining area window looks over the neighbors roof, to the ocean! The other part of that corner window looks out into an empty lot so there is perfect privacy. Note: You have to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom so this is mostly ideal for a couple.

Ocean view house

My son requested a beach vacation for his 5th birthday and this ocean view house was the perfect spot for us to stay just 10-12 minutes from the boardwalk. One bedroom and a pull out couch. Check in instructions were detailed and made the process very easy. Would stay here again

Gorgeous location! - The view from the breakfast nook is a beautiful way to start each morning. -The neighbors around us were kind, the entire street was quiet. -The condo itself is maybe a 2 minute walk to the a cove and multiple beach entrances. The condo itself was clean and comfortable - including the bed. -The fans and heater were appreciated for the cool mornings and the one warm night we had. -The windows are operational. - Typical kitchen supplies is provided. Overall a lovely location with great host. We will definitely be back.

Perfect location!

My husband and I (with our two kids) really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful views with just a small walk to the beach. We have stayed in this area many times with our extended family but loved being in a new location with just our kids. Unit was fully stocked with everything we needed. Only a couple minutes walk to a beautiful beach and Starbucks was about a 3 minute walk. Perfect for our family!

Great property, great location!

We had such a lovely stay here. The kitchen is well equipped and it's a very short walk to the beach as well as to some cafes and markets. We did have difficulty drawing baths for our daughter (there's no rubber stopper for the tub, and the built in lever was finicky), and we found the master bed quite creaky and uncomfortable. That said, this was a great place to spend a week and we would highly recommend it to other travelers.
