This is located in a cute little area with shops, restaurants in walking distance, which is great! But it's quite a distance from Seaside and vicinity (8 mi). The unit backs to the pool, which is very convenient. It is across the street from the beach (no amenities). The beach chairs that were included with the room were old/rusty/stinky. The unit was decorated very cute but it felt worn. There was blood on the door frame, which was just "EW!". There was a dead bird on the back patio. I texted the inquiry number to ask to get it cleaned up and didn't get a response, therefore no cleanup. I was having problems with my messaging on the vrbo.com website, so if they did respond, I didn't see it. I had problems with the messaging feature earlier, and asked them to email/text me the room code info, which they did; I am still unable to see if they responded in the messaging feature. The ocean water was brown, not sure if that's just the area or due to a storm the previous week, but it was a bit of a let down since we were expecting turquoise water. The sand was bright white and very soft (and squeaky). I would choose something closer to the hub (near Seaside or surrounding areas) next time.
