We have stayed at a couple other condos in NCV, but this was the best so far! When your wife says, "I want to stay here for a year." should tell you everything you need to know. Very clean, nice sunset views on the patio, and everything you need for a stay. Well stocked with blankets, towels, beach supplies, etc. (Welcome snacks were very appreciated!) The owner is great at communicating, and responds very quickly. Even the parking is a short walk. No elevator needed when lugging in all your stuff in and out. Can't say enough positive things. You should know that you are on the first floor and will have someone above you, but that was never an issue with us. Overall, loved the property and we would for sure stay again. =)
