We love it. This unit was a little smaller than I would have liked, but that's what I get for waiting to book. The beds were great, kitchen had everything we needed, very nice and clean throughout. With 4 adults and one bathroom, though, we could have used one more roll of toilet paper. ##### Mark T.

This property was perfect for our stay. It was really just steps to the beach. Underground parking right outside of the elevator. The grounds of the property are well maintained and beautiful. The balcony overllooks the street and you can see the beach. The kitchen has nice appliances and a big sink. Three are beach toys and chairs and an umbrella to use. ##### Laura G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### S S. 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### As Advertised We have been to North Coast Village many times. This unit was ideally located; close to the gym and game room, easy walk to hot tub and pool, ocean view and an easy walk to the beach. We benefitted from the two bed option in the family room. We would not hesitate to stay in this unit again. I'd mention the sand project and beach restoration is less than ideal this year. Many rocks exposed at the beach. The train noise situation is much improved and did not cause any issue for us. ##### S S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable 1 bedroom with ocean view The unit was as advertised, clean, conformable, well furnished and the beach decor was charming. Steps to the beach with a nice view. The Murphy bed was a huge plus over the standard sofa bed that most 1 bedroom units offer. John was a great host who was easy to reach and communicated quickly. the cieling and tower fans make a huge difference. John has three beach chairs, an umbrella and two boogie boards for his guests to use so no need to pack this large equipment. Only recommendation is that another set of beach towels would be nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda B., San Francisco, CA 17 Apr 2016 #### Everything was Great! We were very pleased with the condo and dealing with the owner, John. It's a very pleasant space, everything was in working order and clean, great location with an easy walk to the sand/shore, nice complex and amenities (pool, Jacuzzi, putting green & workout room.) It was very quiet when we were there, May 31 - April 4, 2016\. Pleasant to sit out on the balcony with a view of the water down the street. The kitchen was well enough equipped to do some cooking. Bring your own staples beyond salt, pepper and coffee. Slept well in the comfortable king sized bed. Easy to walk to restaurants near the pier and in the Harbor. Once we parked the car in the garage, we didn't get back in until the end of our stay. Another advantage of this upstairs unit (other than the view) is that there is a skylight in the bathroom. I would stay here again and would recommend it to my friends. ##### Brenda B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Melissa W., Colorado Springs, Colorado 13 Aug 2015 #### July not so quiet I will start by saying that this condo is lovely, very well decorated, super quick walk to the beach, nice complex. The beds are very comfortable. All the necessary beach gear is available for use. The owner was very quick to answer my email regarding early check-in so I feel would have been very responsive if we had needed anything else during our stay. However, I know others commented on the lack of traffic noise but I believe they must have come in the off-season. The traffic (foot, auto, bike, etc.) was very heavy. All traffic for drop-off on the Strand is one way with the street outside this unit being where everyone exits drop-off. Also, the trains run directly behind this unit. We counted three middle of the night whistles. Because of all the outside noise, it really isn't possible to sleep with the windows open. None of this is a reflection on the owner or quality of the unit, but I did feel like I would be dishonest if I omitted these facts. They did directly impact the quality of our stay. Having said all that, I would probably stay in this unit again in the Spring or Fall when overall tourism in California is down. ##### Melissa W. ---
