Sandy Dreams - A

The accommodations are like a rustic beach cottage. Location is excellent! Being right in the beach, which was quiet and private, was the best part. We were a family of 4 with grown (over 21) kids and it works well for our needs. Host was very responsive to all questions and attended to all requests in a timely manner.

Love for detail seems to have been given up on by the host for some time. Positive: Location was awesome! Beach view from atop a cliff is hard to beat. Negative: Sheets and towels had stains. Fridge was dirty from the inside. Dishwasher was full of mold. Also, we booked a "three bedroom townhouse", but only got one single bedroom, plus one open space upstairs with two beds. So it's true it sleeps 6, but it's definitely NOT a 3 bedroom. It's 1 bedroom plus 1 open space with 2 beds. Also, the strict checkout policy at 11 was very inconvenient for me because I had an important video call for business that went until 11. I asked for 11:45 checkout which got denied because, allegedly, the next guest was coming the same day and the "cleaning" crew needs the time. Had to cut short an important call - and the second townhome in the same house was EMPTY during our whole stay. I highly doubt suddenly everyone's arriving on that Thursday that we left. Nobody called or sent a message how things are going. The wellbeing of the guest just doesn't seem to be a priority at this place at all.

Loved the location!!!

The location of this home was incredible- Right on the beach with beautiful views (I have the best photos!) and access to what felt like a private cove. It was fun to spot dolphins swimming by. We enjoyed the easy walk to a few nearby restaurants (Papa's Tacos, NEApolitan Pizza, Coyote Grill) and a donut shop (South Swell Donuts).

The property was very uncomfortable, kitchen utensils were dirty (I documented everything with pictures), the couch is not for sitting on. Everything in the property is old and not up to safety code. The beach is supposed to be private but the first day we had some people playing loud Mexican (with speakers) music the whole day. The beach was not clean, there was a lot of old garbage under the stairs, there was also a used needle. We did not go back to the beach after that. The management company has different information/check in times, not at all professional. This was a nightmare.
