Short February stay
The weather started cold, wet and windy, such that we never used the a.c. But instead the heating worked well. The humidity and the heating tended to make the floor tiling near the window slick with moisture. Possibly this was because the garage underneath offered no insulation from the cold. However the sun came out, the rain stopped and the wind abated making the last day or so very nice. The kingsized bed was “aged”! The bedside light USB charger sockets were a nice feature. Kitchen was well supplied. TV worked well. We were lucky enough to always find a parking place undercover. Much appreciated when it was raining. The view was accurate. It was nice to admire the waves irrespective of the weather.

Clueless owner
The evening we arrived we called the owner. The instructions and picture of the TV remote in the living room did not correspond with the remotes. She responded with confusion and helpless instructions. We told her there was no remote for the TV in the bedroom. She was unaware there was not a remote. The king size bed mattress was very soft and sway back in the middle. We each kept sliding into the middle of the bed. A chair in the living room that should have reclined had a metal rod poking through the back area, and the foot rest did not work properly. Cheap, cheap, cluless owner. She gets 2 stars because at least there weren't bugs.
