The condo was very nice and in a great location. It would be nice if there was an update to the patio furniture and beach chairs, and maybe some furniture to sit on out front. Also, the kitchen furnishings could use an update. (pots and Pans Etc.) But overall the place was what we expected. We would not hesitate to rent this property again.

The host was responsive by text when communication was needed. Furnace had stopped working, so they arranged for a handyman and space heaters.There was a roof leak above the primary bed at one point, but the rain and wind was exceptional during our stay.

Great location across from the beach! In walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the piers. Short drive to Disneyland. Parking was very tight in the garage, but thankful that we had parking. (Our small crossover SUV barely fit.) Having a washer/dryer in the unit was a perk. It was a nice, comfortable stay.

Location is great

Being one block from the beach was fantastic. Apartment was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with the heat being on constantly but the owner had the maintenance man come and at least get it to stop blowing. At 2 weeks past our trip I still didn’t have the deposit back and had to text to get it sent. Not my favorite rental experience, but the location made up for a lot.

Thank you so much for your stay and for taking the time to leave a review. I'm really glad to hear you found the apartment clean, comfortable, and loved the location—being just a block from the beach is something we’re proud to share with our guests. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience with the heating and the delay in getting your deposit back. As soon as we were made aware, we did our best to resolve both quickly. That said, I was a bit surprised by the 3-star rating given the mostly positive feedback. We genuinely care about creating great experiences and would’ve welcomed the chance to make things right during your visit. Your input means a lot, and we hope to have the chance to host you again in the future.

Nice spot, on a busy street.

Walking distance to a shopping and right between the two piers. You have to cross Balboa blvd to get to the ocean. It's not horrible, you just gotta pay attention when crossing.

Not a first class stay- but everything was super clean. Shower for short people, no pressure, couldn't follow required check out because detergent was not there- took video of for proof. Had question for host didn't hear back until second prompt 12 hours later. I think this should be cheaper.

A little nook

This place is small and quaint. The place was clean and I’m glad it had multiple fans. It got quite hot. Close to shops and restaurants but because we are older, glad we had a rental car to get around. Watch out for parking costs by shops. The patio needs a little sprucing up and the garage was way too small for even our compact car. Be careful. Lots of traffic going by in the front. Felt safe and loved the weather. Worth it.

Very disappointing

Nice location. Poorly maintained property. Heat did not work, very poor internet connection, old plumbing and chipped tiles. No shower door or curtain so bathroom flooded when you shower. Over-priced for lack of quality.

Almost A Perfect Property!

Location was perfect, size was perfect for our small group, and meets expectations for a beach house. Was a bummer the bbq had no propane, so that was an extra trip to get some after buying food and the internet was spotty. Other than those small issues, it was a great place to stay and I would stay here again. Would suggest warning your guests about street sweeping tickets when you park on the street. If you are not used to that, it skips your mind.

Nice stay

Overall, this place is a nice little place close to everything we wanted to be close to, and really enjoyed our stay. The only negative things which is not a big deal is that you have the one parking spot in the garage which is not big enough for anything other than a very small small car. The ad said wouldn’t fit an SUV so we had a very different idea of the car fitting.. Also, it would be nice to have a screen door on the sliding glass door that we liked having open because we ended up with a lot of flies. The bed was comfortable. Everything else about this day was fantastic.!

This property is in a terrific location. Really short walk to a small beach by the channel, longer walk to large park, playground and channel beach, ocean beaches and the shops and restaurants. I rated the property low because I had to reach out to PM for check in info and he said there was a double booking so moved us to another unit. The place was clean except for the larger heater vent that was so full of lint it was starting to look like a stuffed animal. We couldn’t get the washer to work and no reply from PM. There is no propane tank on the barbecue. All the furnishings and linens are really cheap - the sofa has a cover on it - no matching towels.

Did not stay the whole time but should have

We arrived late in the day after traveling from Las Vegas. The property was very clean and well put together. Unfortunately my wife and daughter were both not feeling well so they wanted to just lay down under covers and watch television. The property was smaller than expected but could easily fit 4 people. It was an older beach house and you could hear the ocean across the street. Unfortunately we did not stay very long but I would recommend the property. The only thing I would recommend is getting a longer curtain for the sliding door. so people cannot see in so easily. But I would recommend this property.
