Unit was clean and well equipped for a SoCal get away. Great value and location. We had a pleasant stay.
The cottage is a great getaway. We spent the weekend recovering from raising teenagers! It was very relaxing. The cottage is stocked with everything you may need. We enjoyed the backyard. The beds were comfortable. The location is great for walking. We walked to both the park and beach daily. We were also close to yummy restaurants and Trader Joe's. Thank you for an easy and relaxing stay.

We enjoyed are stay. The place was very clean, well stocked kitchen and the backyard was very comfortable. Could use some different chairs in the living room, not comfortable. The location is close to everthing. Super easy on and off the Freeway.
Overall a great stay! Clean house. There are alot of rules staying here but makes sense if yiud like to stay in a clean house. Being came on a weekend it was tough trying to not be too loud as we enjoyed family games (fun and laughter). Also please not, this is a 2 bedroom and not 3. The sofa bed is in the livingroom. Cutte little place, made use of the grill and hammock in the back. Again overall nice stay! Thank you!

The home was clean and well stocked. It was very comfortable for my family. The patio was well maintained and spacious. There was lots of beach gear, and we were a super close walk, drive or bike to the ocean. If you plan to ride the bikes to the beach, I would bring a bike lock. We didn’t have one with us, so we couldn’t take them to the beach.

This cottage has a great beach vibe, it is decorated very tastefully. Very comfortable and well stocked, we really did not cook but the kitchen has utensils, pans, etc. There is an outdoor patio which we enjoyed while drinking our morning coffee. Our host was kind enough to leave a necessary and complimentary first dose of coffee.Having a washer/dryer in the unit was very convenient for us as we did need to wash my daughter's competition uniform.

Reviewer Comments:
From the cute comfortable neighborhood to the inviting patio base, this was everything we needed for myself and two kids. My husband wasn’t able to make the trip, so it was a little concerned about traveling without him. There was no need to be concerned. This sweet residence had everything we needed, and, great accessible location. The best part was the staff. Communicated very well and even gave some personal recommendations. Very helpful and responsive.
Great reservation process with excellent summary of critical info. Place was spotless and warm. My only issue was the narrow bathroom doorway. In my power wheelchair I could not get into the bathroom. I informed the property manager (Jason) who instantly took care of us by getting us moved to the larger unit, which we will review separately. I suggested to Jason that the property listing be changed to say “manual wheelchair accessible” instead of “wheelchair accessible”; or just disclose the internal door widths so wheelchair users can plan ahead. All in all, this is a terrific property.
We really enjoyed the cottage- it was very clean and is well laid out and nicely remodeled (very cute and homey). The kitchen is open and airy so perfect for a small group. The unit is the rear rental of a 2-unit building in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. The only thing that I didn't like was that the air conditioning won't go below 72 - I didn't sleep very well since I like it cooler. I understand not wanting people to crank it down and leave, but would recommend putting in a smart thermometer that adjusts up during the day or something along those lines. So personally I wouldn't stay again during summer/fall but for those who don't mind warmer temps at night it wouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here during the cooler months though, it is a great little place overall!

Reviewer Comments:
The host came on the property 4 separate times during our 4 night stay. Of those 4 times, they only notified us once they would be there. In addition, the host decided to renovate the backyard with a full landscape crew during our stay. We were woken up at 7 am on our final day by the landscape crew right outside the patio door of our bedroom. A blatant violation of our privacy. To add injury to insult, the host also was asking us to checkout while the landscape crew blocked our car in the driveway. Stay away.

Overall it was a nice property but the queen bed was very uncomfortable. The other draw back was the AC was not adjustable below 72 which was annoying.
Loved staying here. Very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable stay! We loved the back patio area! Nice, quiet neighborhood and close to everything! We will definitely be staying here again.
