The room was very clean, great view of the ocean and within walking distance to most things that you would want to do. I highly recommend this room and plan to return soon.

Thank you, Paul, for your kind words about your stay with us! We're delighted to hear that you found the condo to be just as advertised and that you enjoyed the stunning views of the beach and ocean. It’s great to know that the beach access made your experience even better. We would love to welcome you back for another visit in the future!
The VRBO was in a great location with a beautiful view, and it worked well for a smaller space. We enjoyed being close to everything and the scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay.However, the property really needs a deeper cleaning and better turnover cleaning between guests. The overall cleanliness was disappointing, and it felt like several areas had been overlooked for quite some time. The sheets also need to be replaced — they were very rough and felt almost like sandpaper, which made sleeping uncomfortable.Another thing to be aware of is that the trash truck comes through around 4:00 AM every morning and is extremely loud, so light sleepers may have trouble.Overall, the location and view were great, but the cleanliness and comfort issues made the stay less enjoyable than expected.
We had a wonderful vacation. Condo was nice. Weather was perfect. We had a great time just enjoying the waves and watching the dolphins. Definitely plan on going back!
My wife and I stayed on the beach within walking distance to everything we needed. Enjoyed the short walk to the beach, restaurants Wide will be back

It was a fine place to stay for the price. The location really couldn’t be beat. However, the bed was SO loud, screeching every time you moved, and the sheets were so scratchy and uncomfortable, especially after being in the sun all day.

Thank you for your feedback, Staci. We’re so glad to hear the unit was clean and that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back to Westside Cottages again soon.
We had a great stay! We appreciated the washer and dryer very much as we used it a good deal! The view from our balcony was amazing! We watched the sun come up each morning. The only thing we wished could have been different was to have the room switched around with the sliding glass door in the bedroom instead of the living area. My husband likes to go to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves and we couldn’t hear them from the bedroom. Overall, we had a great time!

Hi Lori, thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the balcony views and found the washer/dryer helpful. We appreciate your note about the bedroom placement and wave sound — and we’re happy you had a great stay overall. We’d love to welcome you back.
The location is fabulous. The beach was perfect. The condo was nice, good space. As someone else mentioned, the bed was noisy when you sat down on it, but it was pretty comfortable. The shower had excellent water pressure. It was a bit odd that the bedroom did not have a door
