Great place close to everything
Overall excellent stay - The property itself was perfect for us, very responsive host, overall great vibe and the VIEW just made it - My wife & I rented this property to work from home for a month and a half this summer - It has a GREAT work from home setup there is a standing desk / double monitor setup (& you can see the ocean from the desk).
Property was clean, high-tech (smart devices / lights / auto-curtains / etc.), all as the pictures show. From the balcony we watched some wild sunsets, dolphins swimming in the waves, and sailboats that must have a weekly group b/c saw them probably 7 times during the month - Nuts watching that while working with a cup of coffee on the couch.
Proximity / location also idyllic, few blocks from pier to avoid some of the bustle, but we could walk down to different spots each morning on Pier Ave to grab coffee, watch the surfers, have breakfast - Also don’t have to deal with any of the hills in Hermosa / Manhattan (which I originally didn’t realize can get steep around here once you get block or two off the water) but b/c you’re right on strand, no hills, can just grab bikes and go!
I will say parking was insane around the beach there but the garage spots had us covered majority of the stay, but if you have others visit (we had two families come stay as well for a few days plus other friends), just have to make sure you get outside spots early.
Nowhere around there is cheap in summer, including this place, but still a great deal for being a block from the beach and all the perks, quiet vibe, parking, setup in the house, etc. - was well worth it to get so close to the strand / pier / restaurant scene and was obviously much more reasonable than a full house anywhere around here, let alone a block from the sand.
Check In / Check Out smooth - Host responsive - 5 / 5 stars!!
