First, the location lives up to the description. You have a beautiful ocean view from the apartment and a private patio with a table and chairs where you can see the ocean. There is a small communal private beach/yard (with the BBQ) about 30 feet deep, where you can eat or hang, or you can just walk across it to the main beach. I mention because the view includes the yard as well as the beach and ocean from there ground floor. The beach is gorgeous, and you can watch the sunset from your apt or out on the beach. It also wasn't crazy crowded. It's a good place to rent kayaks or paddle boards for the week since the water is very calm.
The apartment is more charming than I expected from the photos. Stained pine ceilings, French doors, shutters and nice tile floors all add to the charm. The layout is more of a studio with a sun porch than a classic one bedroom, which was great for us as a family but good to know if someone needs more privacy.
The kitchen is surprisingly well-appointed with appliances, including a blender and electric can opener. It's a bit light on mixing bowls and I didn't find any measuring cups/ spoons, so maybe not great if you want to cook an elaborate meal, but just fine for us.
Valerie, the manager was very helpful and extremely friendly. At check-in, she says, "we're not trying to make everything perfect; it's the beach." So if you can roll with a few quirks, you'll be extremely happy.
We also enjoyed the little pool, which was kept comfortably warm. They could do more with the pool ambiance, but then, the main attraction is the beach.
All in all, we loved our stay. The hard part is leaving!
