Disliked: Cleanliness
We were disappointed with our visit. While the photos make the patio look clean, on our arrival the smell of dog urine was significant and dog feces were present along the very narrow walkway between the gate and the back patio at close-to face level due to the high wall on the left as you approach. Cleanliness was the first issue. The refrigerator was also not working properly and we found the cookware not satisfactory for more than one person (i.e., only a single very small skillet). We ended up using the freezer space in the fridge as refrigeration space as it wasn't freezing (ice trays remained water only) but was enough to slightly cool our drinks. The bathroom only had one washcloth for us and there was corrosion around the bathroom sink faucet. The hot side is very hot, so be careful there if you stay. We found the air conditioning worked well enough for us to sleep some, though on arrival the room was very stuffy and it took quite a while for the cooling to kick in. We found no way to control the patio lights, it must be on the neighbor side. On the more positive side, the bed - which seems like a foldout -- turned out to be more comfortable than we expected upon seeing it. The room stayed quiet with the door and window closed. The manager was friendly and engaged, but couldn't really help us because we just stayed one night, in late-ish and out early. We were most grateful for the laundry, which worked well with the supplies provided.

The bed was super comfortable and the AC worked beautifully. Everything we wanted to do was only 10 minutes away so the location was perfect as well. And it came with parking which is always great!

This was a basic accommodation and a good value for the price. There were many thoughtful touches such as a cooler and chairs to use on the beach if you wished. There was some confusion about entry, but it was resolved quickly. If you rent this space, watch for a step just before the entry onto the patio.
