My boyfriend, dog, and I stayed here for 5 days. The host was very quick at responding, we had a great time, and itās only 5 minutes from the beach. The place was definitely cleaned but we found cockroaches in the cabinets and spiders in the showers. It looked like some of the bugs had been sprayed but not wiped after on top of the shower. When we walked in it smelled really bad and there was mold in the air vents. Also floor in the kitchen is falling in. There is definitely rotten wood framing under the sub floor. The lint catcher in the dryer had brown spots all in it and a bunch of screws in the floor that key stabbing us. Thereās also a lot of homeless in the area and right in front of a graveyard which would have been nice to know. I do think this place has a lot of potential if the owner would put some money into it but the listing I saw online was not accurate to what I saw in person. I donāt think itās worth what I paid. It definitely looks a lot newer in the photos online.

Close to everything and the owners are very kind and respond swiftly! Only downfall is the house is a little run down but that didnāt stop us from having an amazing time!

We stayed with two small dogsā¦. So many sticker (sandspurs) in the yard that letting them outside was impossible. First time in the yard, we picked over 60 from their paws and hair. Painful. Owner does not put effort into amenities.Only heat/ac was very loud window units.One night stay was definitely not worth the 333 charge

The little house was perfect for us and our pups!
I felt safe having all the motion detector lights around the outside of the house. There was a lot of foot traffic a block away, but the little side street the house is on was quiet! The house itself had all the essentials and we were happy to have our pets with us!

Convenience and cozy
My family and I enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the convenience of having our dogs with us and close access to everything we wanted to see! Wish the yard was fenced in only because the dogs from the neighbors house roam free and we had two incidents walking our dogs out to use the bathroom and running into unleashed dogs from next door. Could use a bit of updating but the hosts were extremely helpful and responded quickly to any questions I had.
