I hope to stay here again and again. Nothing like the sound of ocean waves to lull you to sleep. Very comfortable beds. The deck is perfect for watching the sun go down over the water. Loved every minute staying here.

The location was perfect and the views off the balcony were unmatched. The unit is enough space and well equipped. We enjoyed the fireplace during the cooler nights and slept great. It could use a good deep cleaning for dust and spider webs but we were so in relaxation mode by the sound of the waves, it didn’t bother us during our stay.

Beach Bliss!

What a great place! Close to lots of great restaurants, Whole Foods, the Pier and shopping. If you like walking on the beach, hanging out on a roomy balcony, watching a beautiful sunset, listening to the waves crash over the rocks, this is the place to be! Clean place, helpful staff (Angel is so nice!), and easy parking! Will definitely return!
