"I can’t express enough how much we all needed this vacation, and this trip did not disappoint. This rental honestly was a big part of what made it totally amazing. The location is perfect. You’re close to so many fun things - beaches, the farmer’s market, yummy restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Everything you could need is basically right around the corner. Pete the owner is amazing. He greeted us and walked us around to show us everything even thought we got on late. The rental was clean and...

"Great location. Clean & cute. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Walkable to many restaurants. Only downside is absolutely no view, but the location and the roominess outweighed having view. Adam was a great host !!! "

"I love how close this property was to the Amtrak train station and Little Italy. The only negative things about it was there was not a microwave and the tv was not working and no response from the host about the tv or any effort in fixing it. The remote needed recharging and there was only 1 channel available. Otherwise, the unit was clean and another thing to note is the front door is directly on the street. "

"We enjoyed how close to the beach the unit was. The location is perfect! It's the perfect size for a couple. We loved having access to the hot tub especially after a long day of walking the boardwalk. It would have been nice to have more towels on the unit since they wouldn't dry after showing . There were also times when the hot water wouldn't come on at all for wuite a while in the shower. Overall, it was a good experience. "

"This was the best place I have stayed with VRBO!! 10/10 stars. I felt safe, clean and comfortable bungalow, near eateries, shopping and the host was great! Communication with the host was awesome, they answered my call and kept me informed of little details of my rental. It’s a hour or so walk to Sunset Cliffs and worth it!! 20 minutes walk to dog beach & beach. I’d stay here again!! "

"We visited over President's Day weekend and enjoyed this property. It is tucked into a very cute neighborhood with many neighbors. We enjoyed walking to nearby canyons and coffee shops and restaurants. Street parking was very easy and the location was very convenient. We ate out and got take out during our stay-- the kitchen is not fully equipped with enough silverware/plates/coffee maker but had the necessities to get us through. The outdoor space was great, although there was no propane for...
