Fabulous central location right on the strand, very walkable with the ocean just few feet away. Lovely apartment. What I loved was big glass windows with the magnificent views, the firm luxurious very comfortable king size bed in the main bedroom, the large bathroom with an enormous shower room with a few different shower heads, radon heat, functional open kitchen, plenty of counter space, big refrigerator, ample storage throughout the apartment.Ray was a great accommodating host who was always got right back to me. I felt we needed more pots, the next morning he had a brand new set of non stick pot delivered. Minor things I would improve is the locks, they were a bit sticky and the electric, one of the outlets by the dinning room was not working. Overall this is a great place to stay. I highly recommend it and would love to stay again.

Even at 2/5 stars, there were a few positives. The location is excellent—being directly on the strand with unobstructed ocean views was the highlight of our stay. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. We did not receive access instructions until about an hour after check-in, which was frustrating, though the host did call to apologize. The parking spot itself was useful, but the listing should clearly state that it is tandem parking and requires coordination with the other unit.This property is more affordable for the location, but there are significant drawbacks to be aware of. The unit is old and noticeably worn, with multiple lights not working and a strong mildew smell in the bedroom near the entrance. The WiFi was unreliable and went out repeatedly, requiring us to contact the host, who then had to coordinate with the upstairs guests to restore it. Noise was the biggest issue—the walls and ceilings are extremely thin. While some noise is expected in a lower unit, we could clearly hear conversations, music, and every footstep from above, making it difficult to relax.The hosts were responsive, and the location and views are great. However, due to the condition of the unit, unreliable WiFi, parking confusion, and excessive noise, we would not stay here again despite the prime location.

Great location! The place is more worn than the pictures provided. If you are a person who needs continuity then this place is not for you…multiple flooring options that can really distract you, but again this is just an aesthetic that can be easily looked over. The major issue was the upstairs unit, handled by management but still the people were extremely disruptive which affected our stay. Parking was tricky. There are 2 clearly marked spots for upper and lower units. When we checked in the people occupying the upper unit were in the lower unit spot. When they left we were able to park in our designated spot, but the next guest parked in front of our car so we couldn’t leave. We had to go upstairs and ask them to move their truck….not a huge deal but maybe if the hosts removed 1/2 hot tubs it could accomodate better parking options as I assume neither of the guests wanted to park right in front of the lower unit. Also, downstairs unit needs better privacy. The curtains downstairs main room don’t cover the door and in the primary bedroom there are some broken blinds that don’t give full privacy. The place is perfectly located and equipped with everything. Mixed reviews were really because of the disruptive guests and parking. Otherwise the place is completely adequate for a beach weekend.

Overall this was great and we would come back! I do wish there was a little bit more in the kitchen, in way of supplies to cook for my kids.. One sheet pan, some tin foil, etc. I went to the little bodega around the corner and had to buy some foil. The 2 hottubs were open 24-7 which felt a little weird to me.. I closed them for energy efficiency but then they were re-opened by the property owners, so clearly that's how they wanted it. We didn't know if one hottub was for a specific unit (there are two units and two hottubs), so my kids went back and forth between the 2. They loved it, so that's what mattered most. I did try to reach out when we got there because the wifi router/password that was posted was different in two different spots in the house, and then neither worked. I never heard back from the property owners about it, but luckily figured it out on my own. Overall it was great location, and we'd totally stay there again. It felt safe and was exactly what we needed for this trip.

Friends Beach Weekend

We were 4 friends (2 couples) and we enjoyed our Oceanside Beach weekend. Comfortable and relaxed. Easy check in and great location. Direct view to ocean and short walk to Beach or market. Unit was clean and big enough for 4 of us to enjoy time together or quiet if we wanted. Furniture has seen a bit of wear and was mix and match in style which is typical if a rental. But all was comfortable and all linens new and clean. Limited kitchen ware if you are planning on cooking. Asked for a propane tank and it was brought right away. Hot tubs were both working and on - a nice spot on the cool mornings.Great value for location. We would come back again.
