Golden Coast Cottage

Coastal Comfort with a Private Balcony

Here, mornings are for coffee with a view, afternoons are for barefoot beach walks, and evenings are for BBQ dinners followed by sunsets that turn the sky into a watercolor masterpiece.

Location is beautiful with easy access to everything we needed. Units 3 and 4 had a few issues that were disappointing and the neighbors were not the most welcoming.Issues: only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom...had to go out and buy more on our own. Units were extremely hot when we arrived and the portable A/C barely made a difference. It was not comfortable until late the first evening when the ocean breeze finally cooled things down. Finally, unit 4 had a termite invasion in the master bedroom on Sunday and Monday. Had to kill them and clean them up, but others were still flying around when we left.

Nice stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay here. The view, on a non-foggy day, is amazing. The beach which is a short walk away had great sunsets. The host was very communicative and delivered a fitted bedsheet promptly when we told her housekeeping hadn't made the bed with one. My only complaint is that the floor was pretty dirty (not mopped). The unit could use a good amount of updating but it we enjoyed our stay here.

Great view

We had a good stay. The view is worth overlooking some cleanliness issues. The laundry is not really great

Very Mediocre Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although we enjoyed the location, this rental was not satisfactory at all. The shower in the front bedroom did not work at all. It's as if the management company knew that the shower did not work and they had capped the pipes to stop the flow of the water. In addition, the porch railing was completely dislodged from the building, making the porch VERY unsafe. The shower curtain, on the ONE SHOWER THAT WORKED, had mold growing along the bottom of it, and the kitchen floor was filthy.
