The stay was along with the view was nice. There are no staff available in person or on the phone. We lost about 2 hours of the short stay (the last hour of sun!). We were not able to retrieve our key for about the first 90 minutes. Management claims they sent an email and text, if they did, I did not receive either!! It was frustrating. I honestly thought we had been scammed. The deck has a beautiful view but looks nothing like the pics. The room was cute however, floor was filthy and our door did not lock from the inside.

I will call customer service, but the fireplace at the unit in Laguna Beach was falling apart. The brick was coming out. There was pieces of the wall on the floor as we entered the unit very unsafe we did stay because we had no other choice, but we’d like at least a partial refund or a credit for another rental.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was a major concern. We seemed to be an inconvenience when we accidentally forgot a device after checking out and had to go back and ask someone to open the room for a second. Then, due to their poor communication, the manager calls me accusing me of staying longer after I had extended one more night/day. It was their absolute lack of communication. But, also, poor communication when relating this back to me, even though I did everything right when I added an additional night. Poor customer service

Amazing View

The view was from the room was absolutely amazing and you are walking distance to all the cool restaurants and shops. That made it all worth it. We had a great time. That said, the air conditioning and wi-fi don't work, they know they don't work, and they don't seem to care that they don't work. Luckily, neither really affected the trip for us too much, but you should be aware. But with the poor cell coverage, best this be an unplugged trip.

The location is awesome. The unit was cleaned but the floors needed a good sweep/mop. The parking is tight, but if others park right it’s not an issue. We will definitely come back. Only wish they allowed pets since ours are like our babies…but other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful place to be

The place was clean and nice. The view was amazing and walk down to the beach was minutes away. The only thing was the service. They don’t pick up the phone in the morning. So we walked to the front desk which was located across the street to asked for a shampoo and they said we’ll bring it to your room. But they never came. So my husband went to the front desk again to get it.
