Pros:
*Ocean front property can't be beat - it was lovely being able to sit on the porch and stare into the ocean and hear the waves. The ocean view from the bedroom was also nice!
*Angel, the onsite manager, was great - he was kind, helpful, and friendly!
*Plenty of towels, TP, Tissue (which is nice in a STR)
*Appreciated the detailed instructions prior to arriving
Cons in owner's control:
*This condo is VERY dated - the appliances, much of the furniture, flooring is all old, cracked, rusted and in need of replacement
*found a lot of ants in living room and bathroom (however, Angel was very quick to come and take care of the problem)
*some cleanliness problems (top of fridge)
Cons outside owner's control:
*Parking is a challenge if you have a large vehicle (we had to park on the Pacific Coast Highway)
*No beach in front of the condo (the tide comes up high and it's not a walkable beach)
*No good places to walk your dog unless you're okay with the busy PCH
Recommendations:
*Offer a few more condiments (oil, etc.)
*Describe kitchen offerings (full coffee pot vs. pod coffee pot) to help guest know what to bring/buy
*Update the contact sheet (the sheet itself is rusted and worn out) with the most accurate people/person to call when the guest needs something
*A couple throw blankets would be nice for living room
*Consider updating to a king bed that is more comfortable
Overall, although the apartment is quite tired, it was a nice stay and you can't top the ocean view!
