We booked this one due to the 10/10 reviews, not sure how this one achieved this. Location is excellent! The exterior does not meet up with the beautiful garden photos. We stayed in #2 with had a stoop with a rusty bistro set, not the nice chairs and daybed. We were never offered to use the other patio area. A/C unit in living room could not keep up, and WTH the shower most of the water went out the spigot. We lost power at 10pm with the storm and were in complete darkness for the entire night. No emergency back up lights, flashlight, candles, and the owner never checked on us, even though he was upstairs. We did not get the welcome check in like others commented with flowers or wine!

The apartment is very nice and a few steps to private beach. The host is very hospitable and quick to respond to texts. Thank you again Sotos for allowing us to enjoy your apartment.

The listing is accurate. The host is gracious and hospitable. The location is ideal for quiet and quaint.

This is such a relaxing stay, in what is a pretty easy place to access. The place itself has everything you need for a nice beach trip!

My husband and I had a wonderful 3 night stay. You are literally steps from a quiet, uncrowded, white sand beach. We didn’t rent a car, and enjoyed walking down to the boardwalk daily. Restaurants and bars are close - Tiki-Tiki ( 0.2 mile walk) to unlimited options on the boardwalk. (1.5 mile walk) This property is very comfortable with anything you would want. Sotos is a wonderful, kind and responsive host. I can’t wait to go back!

Arrived a bit early before check-in and the cleaning lady was gracious and allowed us to leave our luggage until she was finished. The renter was not around. We were immediately disappointed as the beach was closed for maintenance and was closed for the duration of our stay (9 nights). We had to walk (with chairs and an umbrella) to an open section of the beach (a fair distance). I contacted the renter and asked how long the beach was closed before we arrived, and he said approximately 2 weeks. I believe we should have been notified of this while we still could have and given the option to cancel our reservation. I also understand this may not be the renter's responsibility, but morally speaking I do believe it would have been the right thing to do. It was a long trek for my 80-year-old mother-in-law every day to sit at the beach that we should have had access to. At the very least it would have been nice if we had a choice on whether we wanted to stay or go elsewhere. The renter did offer 2 free nights on our next stay but unfortunately, we cannot make this happen. If we were provided a refund for a night or two on our current stay for being greatly inconvenienced it would have been appreciated. The place was clean and cute and the renter was responsive to questions.

Lovely property, 10 steps from beach. Sotos was very welcoming. No concerns while at the property. If anything to fault it would be the AC is noisy at times. Not a big issue really. Differently would recommend if you want a beach, stay without paying $5 an hour for parking, closer to Hollywood centre.

Very clean property and the location was perfect! Steps from the beach and close to food.
