The property was clean when we arrived. It’s an older lower level apartment that has had some renovations. The kitchen was perfect for us to have basic groceries and snacks to keep when we were coming and going from the beach. There are two bedrooms with queen beds but the listing says it can sleep 7. What I wasn’t sure of was if the couch had a hide away bed, but it turned out it folded down into a futon. There was also a twin air mattress. The beds were not the most comfortable but the sheets were clean, and the blankets in the cupboard needed washing before we used them. The portable air conditioner was in the living room and was fine to cool that space, but the bedrooms were a little hot. The washer and dryer were very convenient, and the private back patio was nice. The fire table was fun but the propane was gone. We weren’t actually there much so it wasn’t a big deal. My only issue was that it is a two-minute walk to the ocean, but not the beach. Two streets from the property is a rocky overlook area that is good for fishing. We still had to go find public parking to go to the Oceanside Strand beach. Overall the location was convenient to the pier and the harbor. Parking was a bit tight in the alley because of trash cans and other residents, but we were still able to make it work. It was a good stay and my family and I enjoyed the property.

Host was very helpful and professional.

Great location, the train track behind is super quiet, the kitchen is very small but we had no plans of cooking so it worked, only flaw was the back door didn’t lock, so we only used the safety stick they had but we didn’t mind, great little home

The property is cozy and private so you won’t be bothered by others. I did head into a few bumps but nothing that can’t be managed. The only bad experience I had was getting my car keyed. Overall, a great stay to rest and enjoy yourself.

Disappointed instantly when discovering alley parking along dilapidated garage row. Gated entrance aside garage to run down aging two story apartment building. VRBO unit located at the end. Between residents of other units, and the train tracks behind the building, noise is constant. Unit barely stocked. HOT water barely warm, maybe 85 degrees. Exterior spaces not maintained well. Rusty screen door to greet you. Rusting closet door tracks to go along with no hangers to use. Posted pictures lead you to believe this is a cute little place, but that’s not the experience you’ll get. Bottom line, this VRBO is more about what the owner can get from tourists than it is about providing you a valuable alternative to a hotel.
