You cannot go wrong with this location. We stayed three nights which is the optimal time to obtain true relaxation. We rarely left the condo because the ocean sounds and view were all we really needed. Communication was great.

When booking the condo, per the website, construction was supposed to be complete. From 8-4 we had to listen to powers saws & power drills & hammers. Workers walked back in forth in front of condo so no privacy from 8-4. Also dust from the construction was causing itchy eyes & coughing. We never got to sit on the deck & enjoy morning coffee. The unit was clean & comfortable. Without the construction it would have been ideal.

Overall we loved our stay in here, the apartment was a little tight, but they used the space well. Everything was clean, they even left us a welcome wine bottle. First I’ll give the “negative” which is minimal, the bedrooms get HOT during the night, like we were sweating and there were no AC instruction to be found. With the beds, main bedroom, headboard was just sitting on the ground, not attached, so any movement against it and it made loud noises during the night while sleeping, the pillows were like air, not comfortable at all. Lastly the main shower, the shower head is super low, and they have a caddy that the shower sprays in to, making it a lil annoying, I suggest you guys change that, not ideal. That is seriously my only critique, the host was helpful, the views were amazing and location is hard to beat!!!! We spent all our time in the living room, enjoying the ocean sounds, the sunset views and built some good memories. You can walk down the hill about 3 minutes and grabbed a good dinner at Venus or bring home some coffee, pastries and amazing pizza as well!
