    West of the moon is in a great location and it was nice to find a rental that didn’t require a week’s stay. There’s a set of 15 steps to get to the apartment so keep that in mind if you have issues with stairs or bring heavy items. There are some maintenance items and upkeep that need to be addressed so this is information only. The toilet is loose/rocky and the door in the bedroom with the full size loft bed will not close. To keep the humidity to any reasonable level the air units in each room must be kept on at all times and the temperature below 70 or your clothing and bedding will get damp. Recommend bringing your own towels (bath and beach) as those provided are small and have been heavily used. There was no laundry detergent and the washer shook badly. If budget is a concern then this rental will do. Flooring is all vinyl which holds up well to pets and sand. The unit is dated as others have said but for a comfortable bed and a place to stay out of the hot sun or rain then it will do.

    Well, I went back and read all the reviews from 2020 forward. None of the concerns other people wrote about from 3 years ago were addressed. The icemaker still does not work. There is still a crack in a stair! There are no shelves in the freezer. The bed is just as terrible. The full kitchen to cook in a atrocious. Most of the dishes were dirty. Half of the lamps didn't work and we had to switch batteries from 4 different controllers just to make one work. Also, there are no hardwood floors and the washer didn't work. The kitchen table in the pictures has been replaced with one that looks like it came from a yard sale. Everything looks like it came from a yard sale. The worst was the three portable air conditioning units! The central air barely worked. Those units have not been cleaned in ages and we both started getting migraines within 12 hours of arrival. It was so bad, we left a day early. I didn't even bother to contact the property manager because it was very obvious that these problems don't seem to matter because they go back to 2020. The only nice thing was it was very close to the beach. Trust me and all the other reviews, skip this one.

    We would stay here again. It is a duplex turned into 4 rentals, but it was roomy enough for 6 people and 2 dogs. The A/C was ice cold and had a separate air conditioner for each bedroom and living space. The location is great - only about 20 feet from beach access and 0.6 mile walk to shopping and food. The host responded to texts quickly. The people we met were all so nice. This is a rental and city I want to visit again.

    Great location, right across from the beach! The house is a little outdated but worked for us. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the wooden creaky stairs. They are steep so carpet would've been easier for us and our little dog.... We made it work. No tv box in master bedroom. Living room tv volume is on tv, not remote... Overall a good stay!

    This was a nice place and very fairly priced. However, we could have planned better if there was more info listed. For example, the entire unit is on the second floor. There is nothing listed to indicate that, and my father had a difficult time with the stairs. There is mold in the master bedroom closet, and the walls in the master bedroom. There is very little kitchen equipment; one mixing bowl, only a few plastic cups for drinkware, one measuring cup with no markings, maybe 5 or 6 spoons. The beach chairs and gear is great! A deck on the front of the house to see the ocean would have been really nice! Especially for my dad who choose not to leave the condo for the most part bc of difficulty getting up and down the stairs. Because of mobility issues I would probably not rent this place again, but if you choose to, I would suggest you bring some kitchen tools if you like to cook, bc you don’t have a lot to choose from here.

    Kitchen appliances very out dated. Washer leaked and was extremely loud. No trash bags, paper towels, bath mat and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Master bedroom looked to have mold on ceiling in closet. Sand on sheets on bed when we arrived. Location very good and recommend right near beach. Property manger very good.

    Best location. Great neighborhood and easy quick walk to the beach. House was spacious but needs updating. The house was not well equipped. The kitchen hardly has anything. Washing machine was not good either. TVs were nice. Beds were comfy. Pets were welcome!

    West of the Moon was very close to the beach, with walking distance. The condo was nice and clean and smelled so fresh. Felt very comfortable and it had everything we need for our stay.Peaceful neighborhood. The host ( Joel) was very accommodating. Called to check on us to see if everything was ok and to our satisfaction. Definitely recommend to stay at West of the Moon.
