Great location
On the positive side, it was a great location, as advertised. It was roomy enough for 3 adults. The kitchen appliances and countertops were upgraded as in the photos. The fridge and kitchen and bathroom were clean. The reason we did not give this rating higher than 3 is that it is an older building, in need of a good refresh. It's also a very dark space, but then you can walk a few blocks to the ocean for sunlight and air! The floors were filthy (i.e. our feet or socks were black within a few minutes after showering). The manager of the property responded if we left a voicemail, but not always right away, and once not for a couple of hours (when we were having trouble locking the house with the key code). The other little issues were that the dryer took a long time to dry (4 times as long as at home...) and the toilet sometimes plugged up. Final note: we're Canadians and don't mind the cold but if you are not used to the cold, the heater only heats the kitchen area, and the warmth doesn't make its way to the bedrooms. All in all, I would recommend renting this place if you're not worried about a pristine rental, as it suited us just fine for the 3 days.

So close to everything. Started each day with a walk along the cliffs/ocean. Property is small but very comfortable for a few people. Would have given a 5 rating except i felt they could have at least given you a couple of dishwasher tabs to use. Had it full before we realized there was nothing available. My husband has some mobility concerns and it would have been nice to have some type of shower support.

A good stay
The location is the star here - super close to West Cliff Drive and walking distance from the beach as well as Cowells and Steamer Lane surf stairs. Check-in was super easy, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishware and stuff (though you’ll want to bring your own oil, seasonings, etc.). The house was comfortable for us (2) and probably fine with kids, but just fair warning I think 4 adults would be a tight fit. We had a lovely weekend.
