"This place was great! The room is small but for the most part we were out and about anyway. It was really nice to have all of the beach essentials in the closet. The views from the lanai are gorgeous. Parking was a bit tricky as it’s in a very popular area but the front desk was really helpful in figuring out options. Highly recommend!"

"This property is really in the heart of it all. Easy walking distance to beaches, shopping, groceries, restaurants, nightlife, and more. Being a corner unit with 2 lanais was a definite bonus. Lots of light and great ocean and city views. Dedicated parking spot was also a real luxury. The unit was very clean and Lia was helpful and responsive throughout the reservation and rental process. Another bonus was that this unit was stocked with lots of great supplies which made hanging at the beach...
