Thought we’d never get the check-in info. Finally, at 2:27 PM the day before we planned to arrive, the property manager emailed the info. This was after multiple requests from us and Red Awning. Meanwhile, Red Awning stated that they could not guarantee us a place to stay if we didn’t hear from the manager. Of course we’d paid in full at time of booking.
The front of the building photo is unrelated to the actual unit, and the outdoor sitting area there apparently belongs to that unit. The path along the side of the building which is used to access the unit is uneven; may be difficult for mobility-challenged folks to navigate.
Note that this is a studio; in effect, no living room. The studio opens onto an outdoor patio, creating an accommodating living space in nice weather. The sofa bed mattress needs to go to the dump; it’s the most uncomfortable mattress I’ve encountered. Heating unit works well.
When we arrived, the oven was on at 150 degrees. The refrigerator in the photos has been replaced by a much smaller one, still fine. There was lipstick on one of the coffee cups.
The spa-like shower was lovely, and the long vanity with dual sinks great. Didn’t try the jetted tub. Toilet is in its own little room. Large walk-in closet had plenty of space to store all our stuff.
Fire safety issue - it’s not possible to exit the property onto the streetside sidewalk without having a key to unlock the gate.
We enjoyed walking into the neighborhood and to the beach so much. Casablanca and La Cabana both have tasty Mexican food. Whole Foods is directly across the street. Groundwork Coffee behind the grocery store is a fun place with good coffee and delicious sandwiches.
Cleaners arrived exactly at 10 AM as we were packing out. There was always space to park on this dead end street. That’s it, folks!
