8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is FANTASTIC! Right across from Strand beach which connects with Salt Creek Beach which were fun to walk. Dana Headlands nature area with ocean cliff walk is at the end of the street. Walk to town easily with a mile depending on where you want to go. Other city parks and trails close by. Costco and grocery stores with 10 minutes.The owners were friendly, responsive, and helpful. The unit was clean. It had a newer refrigerator and dishwasher as well as newer washer and dryer. There is no A/C but ocean breezes kept it cool. Space heaters in different rooms.Furnishings and the condo is worn, but functional. Master bed was comfortable. Kitchen is tight for 2 people but we made out OK.All in all- we were happy to have this unit in an amazing location."
