The security deposit that I ended up paying interest on for two months was ridiculous. The place is a little rundown but in a great location. Communication was well above average. Would not stay here again.

Quick stay

The location of the property is great for the pier. And is just a short walk to some places to eat. We were just staying one night before our cruise. The hosts were able to accommodate an early check in. Our flights were changed to earlier in the day.

Not clean at all

First we booked this months ago for a total of 8 women who needed a one night stay before boarding a cruise. They fail to mention there is just one parking pass to park on the street. There is no info on where others who drive need to park. The beds are uncomfortable. The floors were dirty and our socks were filthy! The shower was also not clean! The fan vent in the bathroom had dust all over. We are charged a cleaning fee but yet it was not very clean when we arrived. The pillows are paper thin. Bring your own pillows and bedding. I feel like for this price because of the service & cleaning fees; I would’ve expected a nicer place.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I would give this place a 0 if i could, the description about parking is inaccurate, people who are not supposed to park there end up parking there and there is no place for the person who paid to stay there to park. There is a bar right across the street which is probably what took up all the parking but it was loud and not a safe area to be in. They wanted us to park several blocks away which we were not comfortable with. There were people yelling and screaming and stomping above us. I called the property manager right away and he was rude and not helpful, i called the host due to us not feeling comfortable staying there, we only used the restroom and put our bags in the house when i had called, we were there a whole 20 minute before we had all our stuff packed back up int he truck and left. He said we would get a full refund, but then his cleaning crew lied and said that we used everything in the house which was not true. I did not get my refund as promised and i feel like i was taken advantage of. We ended up having to get 2 hotel rooms and having to pay for those as well. so i was out a lot of extra money due to this issue. I would NEVER recommend this house to anyone. Do not stay here.

Excellent location - perfect for small group

For the property itself and the location, I would give this 5 stars. It is definitely not for 8 people though! You can fit 4 comfortably, our group of 6 was pushing it. There is no way 8 people could fit in the living room or get through a weekend sharing the one full bathroom. The shower was great, but there is absolutely no counter space in the bathroom, so everyone had to carry in their toiletries every time they went to shower or get ready. Also, 4 people would have to use the bunks and pullout sofa, so they have no where to store their belongings. This place really is perfect for 4, but anything more than that is too tight. If you do plan to use the sofa bed, make sure to bring your own sheets. We found a small blanket and some extra pillows, but no pillowcases or sheets, which meant someone had to sleep on the couch instead of having a bed. The kitchen is also VERY limited on space. We went with them intention of cooking meals, but after one night decided that it was not feasible. Plus, cooking made the condo get really hot, the A/C couldn’t keep up. If you just plan to make sandwiches and snacks, this will meet your needs.

It was ok-ish

Location was unbeatable. Cleanliness was lacking. Had everything we needed for a 2-night stay, but we had to purchase new pillows bc of a horrid odor, my child’s feet were black after walking around the house for a few mins, people parked out front smoking weed for hours (obviously not the owners fault, but definitely not ideal with children walking in/out). Probably wouldn’t stay again, but was really nice being SO close to the beach/pleasure pier.
