Reviews

• Quick overnight on the beach

  3/5

  The proximity to the beach was AMAZING! The accommodations were not outstanding, but okay for the quick overnight. Pros: Easy to just walk out to the beach for a walk or a sunset, bedroom with one bed in it has great view of the ocean and can listen to the waves, and right off the 101 for a quick stay. Cons: toilet didn’t work very well, condo was relatively clean, but not outstanding, and the room with two beds was super loud. Had to have windows open to cool the place. All good on the side with the ocean noises, but on the side of the 101, it was very noisy. Again, we just used it for a quick overnight and it served its purpose. Just make sure you have expectations relative to what you book. We did, so we were good. If you are expecting top notch accommodations, this isn’t it. If you’re cool with a nice location close to the beach with a place to lay your head for a night this is a great place for you!

  I have stayed in various rental units during my many years of travel in the U.S. and abroad, I have never come across such an experience where the photos and description were so misleading. A warning about the dangerous and steep stairs needed to be included in the description, a photo of the bathroom clearly stated that it was on the second floor (like bedrooms). The stairs are an evident hazard, narrow and steep with higher risers than the norm. The problem is not that the place is older, but that there is no warning about these unusual stairs that pose a safety issue. There is also an additional small step from the loft with the main bed, not an actual bedroom with door. I was concerned from the get go, and even with being careful I fell and sustained an injury.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Rasma, The right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - The listing does mention that the unit includes stairs and is not recommended for guests with mobility concerns. The stairs are steeper than standard due to the age of the home, which is reflected in the pricing and the vintage beach cottage feel many guests enjoy.
  - The loft-style sleeping area is noted in the listing and does not have a traditional bedroom door.
  - We’ve corrected the listing to remove the inaccurate photo description, as the bathroom is not located on the second floor.
  - We encourage future guests seeking a more modern layout to explore other updated units on the same property.
  
  Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests!

  It was perfect for what we needed. Very close to excellent. Wish there was a very very good option. Not fancy, but short walk to beach, good location, and our own deck made for a lovely stay. Would go back.

• Beautiful location

  Such a great location. Short walk from the water with dunes on the way. The home itself has all the essentials with a couple of fabulous views.
