I used home away for this rental. Process is generally straightforward. Short walk to beach, but you do need to travel north a block, bc beach access is not on 9th street. We had 2 cars, there is one small parking spot. The parking garage is $20/day on weekends and $10/day on weekdays. Add that into your cost if you stay here and have more than 1 car. There was no dishwasher, there was a spot for one, but it looks like it was replaced with some home made shelves, no biggie, just hand wash in the sink.
However, this really bothered me: There was no air Return in the bedrooms, there was only a supply in each bedroom. So, if you sleep with the doors closed, then the bedrooms get hot because there is not an exchange of air. Take in mind, this is a 2nd floor unit. So, be prepared to sleep with the doors open or be prepared to sweat.
It was clean, neat, and all I needed for my trip, with the exception of what I stated above. I will also add that you are expected to sweep the floors, leave the sheets on the bed, and put away all dishes on departure.
Oh, it is also on the corner of two pretty busy streets so expect some outside noise when you are trying to sleep, it’s not too bad, but it’s there.
I gave this unit a 4 star overall.
