Amazing hospitality and close by beach!

We really enjoyed our stay and would book this property again. It was set up so that pretty much everything you need is already there. We appreciate the attention to detail. It was perfect for our group of friends. The walk to the beach is great as well, and there are so many food places and business nearby.

Not a 2 BDRM

The description is not quite accurate for what I would consider an actual 2 bedroom. There is a room that is in between the bedroom and the living room that has a trundle bed. The bathroom is next to that bed and the door opens up to it which doesn’t even open all the way. The place was quite old and not very up to date and had a tough time getting the WiFi to work. The instructions were to use the regular login but actually the only way to get in was by using the guest login. It also had a bad smell which we had to keep the back and front door open to dissipate the smell. The host was responsive however the cost for 2 nights seemed over priced for the shabby conditions. I did love ocean beach, the people and the dogs. Next time I may just book a hotel or really scope out the pictures before getting another place through VRBO as the stay at this house was very disappointing.
