Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gina D. 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in The property was very clean and in a convenient location. We had a little difficulty checking in but called the number provided and they were very helpful. The check in time and check out time were a little tight. Most properties are check in 3:00 and check out at 11:00 but this properties 4:00 and 10:00 seem a little difficult. We would have to pay for an extra hour. Also, please be aware that while we were there in July the seagulls were very loud all night long. We had a couple of very hot nights and could not keep the windows open (even shut you can still hear them all night). ##### Gina D.
