A little nook
This place is small and quaint. The place was clean and I’m glad it had multiple fans. It got quite hot. Close to shops and restaurants but because we are older, glad we had a rental car to get around. Watch out for parking costs by shops. The patio needs a little sprucing up and the garage was way too small for even our compact car. Be careful. Lots of traffic going by in the front. Felt safe and loved the weather. Worth it.

Great location but didn't live up to advertising
Started with no communication from Jason but did hear back once I reached out. He provided the code to check in with parking information but parking spot was already taken and the other spot was blocked by multiple trash cans and 4 christmas trees. Luckily we did find street parking and turned out not to be an issue. Biggest let down was that the beds were listed as 1 king, 1 queen, 1 twin. Turns out there was 1 queen in first bedroom and 2 twins in second. Thus forced us to have our oldest child sleep on the couch which i was trying to avoid and specifically looked for houses that would have enough bed space. Second disappointment was that the drying was not working. I started laundry (must for me with kids at the beach) and rnded up with a load of clean wet clothes that my husband then had to take to the laudromat to dry. If i had known there would not be a way to do laundry and bot enough beds we would not have stayed here. There was also a broken living room chair which property manager told me happened with the last guest. It really should have been replaced. With all that being said the house really is in a fantastic neighborhood right next to an amazing beach and within walking distances to two great playgrounds and many local restaurants and shops. This place has amazing potential but needed to be more clear with what the unit had to offer.

Nice stay
Overall, this place is a nice little place close to everything we wanted to be close to, and really enjoyed our stay. The only negative things which is not a big deal is that you have the one parking spot in the garage which is not big enough for anything other than a very small small car. The ad said wouldn’t fit an SUV so we had a very different idea of the car fitting.. Also, it would be nice to have a screen door on the sliding glass door that we liked having open because we ended up with a lot of flies. The bed was comfortable. Everything else about this day was fantastic.!

Beach House Vibes
Stayed for in September 2023 and had a good time. It is a quick walk to the beach but is not super close to restaurants/coffee/etc. Still walkable but it takes some time. Overall we were pleased with the house but there were a few gotchas and issues we discovered that keep me from giving it a 5 star rating: I didn't receive any check-in/out information before arriving but was able to call the property manager who was very helpful. The garage parking spot is super skinny (compact car) but there is plenty of street parking, both free and paid. Front room gets very hot during the day making it very uncomfortable (even when running the portable A/C in that room) until sunset. Wifi seemed fine but the Internet kept disconnecting every 10-15m (probably related to the heat in that room).

Not a first class stay- but everything was super clean. Shower for short people, no pressure, couldn't follow required check out because detergent was not there- took video of for proof. Had question for host didn't hear back until second prompt 12 hours later. I think this should be cheaper.

Almost A Perfect Property!
Location was perfect, size was perfect for our small group, and meets expectations for a beach house. Was a bummer the bbq had no propane, so that was an extra trip to get some after buying food and the internet was spotty. Other than those small issues, it was a great place to stay and I would stay here again. Would suggest warning your guests about street sweeping tickets when you park on the street. If you are not used to that, it skips your mind.

Did not stay the whole time but should have
We arrived late in the day after traveling from Las Vegas. The property was very clean and well put together. Unfortunately my wife and daughter were both not feeling well so they wanted to just lay down under covers and watch television. The property was smaller than expected but could easily fit 4 people. It was an older beach house and you could hear the ocean across the street. Unfortunately we did not stay very long but I would recommend the property. The only thing I would recommend is getting a longer curtain for the sliding door. so people cannot see in so easily. But I would recommend this property.

Nice spot, on a busy street.
Walking distance to a shopping and right between the two piers. You have to cross Balboa blvd to get to the ocean. It's not horrible, you just gotta pay attention when crossing.

Nice location, some issues
The property was easy to access, not sure where the assigned parking spot was (wish there was better instructions). House was small. Floors were dirty, the baby had black feet after walking barefoot. We were not aware there was someone directly above the bedrooms, someone was very loud walking all night preventing us from getting sleep. Location was great though! Super close to the beach which was wonderful and an easy walk. Saturday we had some sort of bug infestation near the patio door. The toilet also had to be adjusted a few times so it could flush. Overall place worked for what we needed. Wish there were instructions somewhere for TV, internet. Couldn’t find a manual or anything.

hop, skip, jump to the beach!
What makes this little home such an ideal vacation spot is the location. It's a super quick walk to the boardwalk, fun touristy shops, excellent restaurants, ice cream, coffee and cocktails . No need to get in a car at all once you arrive. (*Note - Parking on the street out front is not a problem.) There's a friendly neighborhood grocery store that is a quick on-foot trip as well. The unit itself is cozy and comfortable. The neighborhood feels entirely safe. I would say one thing: If you feel like having a glass of wine when you're winding down in the evening, be sure to bring your own wine glasses. There is exactly one on the premises. But hey, you're at the beach, so any glass will do.

House was clean and had everything you need. Walking distance to beach.
Renting was fine when going in with friends since we all paid. Only one thing I didn’t like was the garage. Way to small. Wasn’t comfortable parking my Honda Accord so I parked out on the streets.

WE absolutely loved staying here and had a blast! Great location, walk able to everything we wanted to do. Hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful. Only complaints are the toilet was having issues with flushing, a little warm due to no central AC and parking was pretty tough because the garage was so small. These were all pretty minor issues for us. If not for this I would give 5 stars.
