    Amazing view and location! You can hear the waves inside the house. The beach view is gorgeous. We could watch the surfers. The inside is “meh”. It’s functional. The beds are comfy and the water is hot. Everything looks like it’s from the 1980’s. The kitchen needs some cleaning in the under-sink area and the drawers to get some of the old smells out.

    Property is definitely dated and doesn’t feel clean as carpet, upholstery and linens are terribly stained and worn. Needs more towels, especially since there are no laundry facilities. We were given 2 dish towels, one really worn hot pad, no oven mitts, etc. Cutting boards were so awful, we didn’t use them. Toaster oven didn’t work. Hair dryer didn’t work. Light bulbs were burned out. The view was amazing but given the price, we expected higher quality.

    And the position of this property is worth a stay, the back bedroom is very near the road and was noisy. Otherwise we felt it could’ve been upgraded somewhat,But all in all we had a wonderful time

    Ocean view was amazing, but the place has not been kept up. Things were either broken or didn't work. Not very clean. King beds were two twins put together with OLD pillows. If it weren't for the ocean view this would be a train wreck.

    The location of this place is AWESOME. Not only is it steps from a cozy little stretch of beach, but it sits on a small outcrop of rocks giving you the most incredible views of the sunrise/sunsets and ocean! The place itself was spotless when we arrived, and the unit is light and bright and well taken care of. Very responsive owner. We loved our time here and will be back.
