a 'Haven Away' with Spectacular Panoramic View/Newly Remodeled

The place is clean and beautiful however there’s no balcony to sit on. It’s a 1 foot balcony so I felt like it was kind of trick, Photography! We booked this for the balcony yet there was none!

Great host and property!

Pros: Condo was VERY clean, proximity to beach and restaurants/coffee was great, beautiful view from condo of sunset and beach, awesome pool and hot tub for chilly nights, parking space, we never asked where the coin laundry was but it is in the building.What you need to know: we had a larger rental vehicle, so parking was tricky as its the first spot in the lot, to get to the beach it is several stairs for carrying things down, the condo doesn’t have a lanai- its a Juliette, there was only one beach chair- the others were camping chairs so you may want to bring/purchase other chairs, there was only 3 beach towels, one of the umbrella’s is very difficult to get up (possibly broken as it doesn’t stay up well the Tommy bahama one), beds weren’t super comfortable, porta crib is a pack and play and only for a toddler as it doesn’t have infant mode, but it worked ok for us (I brought sheets), pool and hot tub half a block down from condo, we bought ice as no ice machine in room or building, we also only had one roll of toilet paper, but that may have been an oversight by housekeeping.There is a separate entrance/elevator for when you are coming from the beach/pool not through the lobby but through the parking garage, so make sure you use that to not upset the security guards. We loved SD and most of the people were super nice/helpful everywhere we went. Many surf shops nearby to rent wetsuits and surfboards (room provided two boogie boards).

The view is beautiful, the highlight of the stay. The location has easy access to the beach. The assigned parking spot was convenient, and the queen beds were comfortable.The building itself feels quite dated, and the hallways don’t have a particularly relaxing or welcoming atmosphere. The pool is not attached to the building, and getting there requires walking past areas that felt uncomfortable at times, including encounters with individuals experiencing homelessness.Laundry was a notable downside. There’s no in-unit washer/dryer—you have to use shared machines down the hallway that require coins and your own detergent. The machines themselves were not very effective; clothes didn’t dry properly even after a full cycle, and I had an issue where the washer took coins without working, neither building staff nor the machine company were able to resolve or refund this.For a stay longer than a few days, it would really improve the experience to offer a linen or towel exchange—especially given the laundry limitations. Using the same towels for the entire stay wasn’t pleasant. A smaller note: there was no decaf coffee provided, and the coffee creamer in the unit was hardened and unusable, which is something we’ve typically seen handled better in other VRBO rentals. Kitchen well stocked, but missing a basic nonstick flat pan.. Overall, while the view and beach proximity are major strengths, the overall experience didn’t match price point for us.
