We stayed as a surprise birthday gift for my husband and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The views, listening to the crashing of the waves at night, was all worth it. We will definitely book with stay awhile again soon

Great location, ok condo

First, the view and location are spectacular. I wish I could say the same for the unit. Just a bit under par with a smelly shower, no ac (and it was 95 degrees,) plastic coated kitchen countertops, and annoying light switches. The beds were comfortable enough, but the bedding was too warm for the weather. Also, the roof deck is shared with the unit next door; it is not private as listed. Luckily the neighbors weren't there so it wasn't an issue.

Hi Dina, thank you for your review! We appreciate the feedback and looked into everything you mentioned. The deck is private and not shared with the neighbors. Only the guests renting the unit have access. The no AC is stated on the listing but noted on the bedding. We will make sure to have lighter bedding when it's warmer. Everything else has been looked at/fixed and we hope to have you back again so we can provide a better experience for you. :) Best, Savannah
