We designed this space for our family and friends to stay when they visit, and share it with others in between. We remodeled all 720 sqft to serve as a home base for someone coming for a couple of days or a couple of months. Adam manages about 40 short-term rentals, and incorporated all the best parts when designing this space for you. Thanks and we hope to host you soon! \- Adam and Anna The Space: When you enter using the Yale smart lock, you'll be welcomed by the primary bedroom. There's a large king bed with a Helix mattress and hotel quality bedding. 🛏️ Around the the corner to the bedroom, you'll find a work from home set-up with an optional standing desk, 27" monitor, key board and mouse ready for you to plug-in. This area also functions as a second sleeping area with a pull-out queen bed. Next over is the bathroom - always stocked with shower essentials, q-tips, flossers, make-up remover pads, and others. The kitchen has brand new appliances and pretty much everything you'll need.

A couple quick notes: \- Owners live in the unit above \- We added a layer of cork underneath the flooring, but the unit is still subject to noise from the unit above and water pipes in the walls \- Aside from the bathroom, the unit has an open flow and the bedroom doesn't have a door to separate it from the other rooms Interaction with Guests: Anna and Adam currently live in the unit above. We'll follow your lead, happy to say hi or completely respect your privacy. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport -
