Couple of issues when we first got there, but once the host found out about it, she resolved it very quickly and was very responsive. Great location this time of year the traffic to get on the beach was horrendous so you have to plan accordingly to beat the traffic overall great little place close to the beach beaches and for the price absolutely worth it! We hope to be back soon.

Very easy check-in, great location. It was very clean and much larger than we expected! The screened porch was very nice also! The only down was that the pullout couch was not comfortable at all. But everything else exceeded our expectations!

Amenities, the couch needs to be replaced painful to sit on, the gas grill did not work, warm water never got hot, a pancake griddle is not a 2 burner hot plate. The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable, the outside area was a plus.

The property was perfect for us. We visited familh over Christmas week and there is a great privacy backyard area and screened in sunroom. I had 2 dogs and it was great for them as well. There is a small beach area at the end of the block and Santa Maria Island is about 6 miles away. Great location and great food nearby
