We are a large family - had adult kids and some smaller kids. Property is about 80 steps to the beach (I counted and not sure why). You can see the ocean from the rooftop, which also has nice furniture and a table with a “fire pit” in it. Lots of room up there to relax.Restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores are all close by. Walking distance for sure. You can also walk further to big grocery stores and more restaurants. We went to Belmont park and walked without an issue. Two car garage. We have 2 very large vehicles that didn’t fit but we found a lot not too far away. Lots of beach items - towels, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, cooler, if you don’t bring your own. Very clean. Bedrooms are on second and third floor. First floor is kitchen which had everything you need. Not a lot of space for food storage, but we made due by using random shelves and window ledges. Well decorated. Lots of natural light. Split ac units cooled it right down. Washer and dryer was very nice since I totally forgot to pack any tshirts. Oops. Came in handy to wash the one I was wearing, over and over. Neighborhood was pretty calm at night. Except first night where a guy was singing karaoke with no music. While he shouldn’t quit his day job, we had a giggle at his boldness to serenade the neighborhood. We were looking for a getaway and this place did not disappointment. Relaxing and conveniently located. The owner was very responsive and kind.

David was a fantastic host. He answered all my questions immediately!!! The location is perfect! I would definitely stay there again.

Great location and responsive host, but set expectations.We enjoyed our stay overall—the home is extremely close to the beach (one row back), walkable to coffee and restaurants, and the rooftop terrace has a great partial ocean view. The garage was spacious and having a garage opener was a nice touch. The home was very clean with plenty of towels, and checkout was simple with minimal instructions.David, the host, was very responsive and helpful anytime we had a question.A few things to note: the property feels like a quick renovation with some corners cut. We encountered a missing smoke alarm, several missing electrical outlet covers, loose or missing towel hooks, and two non-working shampoo dispensers. Out of three propane tanks, only one had gas. There were also minor ants on the bottom floor (common in beach areas).While the listing says it sleeps 12, that would be extremely tight. Realistically, it fits about 3 adults and 4 kids based on the bed sizes and room layout. There’s no dining table—just seating for four at the kitchen island.Overall, it’s clean, safe, and in a fantastic location, but travelers should temper expectations about finish quality for the price point in this very expensive area. For the location and responsiveness, we’d rate it 4 stars.

Location was great and as described. The rental was a bit disappointing as it wasn't really as described. The roof-top ocean view was highly exaggerated. You could see a sliver of the ocean if you stood in a very small box area on the roof, otherwise it was a rooftop view of rooftops. The "remodel" must of missed putting screens, curtains or blinds in the windows. All the blinds were damaged or missing. The upstairs bathroom had no screen, no blinds, no curtains. If you want to take a shower and let the steam out of the bathroom, you open your window and expose yourself to your neighbors in their living room. But, all that aside, the host was fast to respond to all communications, the place was clean well stocked, and the location was perfect. We all had a fun family vacation at the beach.
