The 2nd story unit is 1970's style beach pad. Needs some updating. It's located near the pier party zone ##### Matt D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay. We stayed in the upstairs unit. There were plenty of beds and bedding. There were more than enough towels for showering and the beach. They have chairs for the beach, which we didn’t end up using, but were in the garage. It was a little loud at night, but we were there during one of the busiest weeks after graduation. It is in a perfect location. You are close to many restaurants and the pier. My only complaint is the pillows weren’t great. We ended up buying some from Target, but overall everything was really good. I would highly recommend the unit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carl M. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Good location near pier, 19th St beach and boogie boarding, surfing.
