Aside from the parking nightmare our room was nice clean and cool the AC worked great there's little add on charges here that make no sense they'll charge you for TP paper towels and really anything they can so bring your own the pool is nice kind of weird surrounded by a wall but privacy is nice kind of dark even on a sunny day. The people in the office are nice if you're lucky to see one of them we had questions and had to go back multiple times hoping to talk to someone they don't return calls either it wasn't till the next day we saw a real person in the office. Don't get me wrong this is necessarily a negative reviews just things I noticed that sucked but not not enough to not stay here again. Book through a third party site and not them directly so you don't get bumped moved or your accommodations changed without notice with the third party site they'll cover and or refund part of it if not all of it.

Great location within walking distance to the beach. First time staying here (#3) and it was a…read moregreat stay. The AC in the bedroom was great but the family room with the fan was a little warm at first since the airflow doesn't get in there. That made the temperature a little imbalanced in the unit but we were at the beach most of the day anyway. Would definitely stay here again -- the pool area was nice and cozy & having a dedicated parking spot was worth it.

The positive is that this place is pretty clean and it looks like an airbnb. We got a room with a…read morefireplace . The negatives: If you like mildew smell on the linens, then this place is for you. They smell like the linens were left in the washer too long and then dried. We couldn't get rid of the smell from our pajamas. There's no onsite staff to get this corrected. The rooms do not have central air conditioning so many windows are open and there's a window fan. This means you hear all the noise outside. There's a train that runs all night long. Finally there was a loud humming sound that kept me up all night. Sounds like a condenser or something . For $370 a night, you expect better service and amenities.

This place was reasonably priced so my wife and I decided to give it a shot. There is no contact…read morewith anyone that works there, everything is done through phone, which was just fine with me. You get a parking spot and a key code to your door. Once inside you are greeted with a place that needs major work. The carpet is old and stained. The bed is really high off the ground and the furniture is worn. Because there is no air conditioning you have to open the windows, stripping away any perceived privacy. We were surrounded by other rooms, we either didn't have any neighbors or they were really quiet. I was able to hear someone talking through the wall as a mumble, but that went away. Because of the seemingly thin walls I avoided watching the laughably small and awkwardly hung t.v. The worst part was the bathroom which because of the ac situation makes you open a window that stares directly at the door of your neighbor. They do have a nice enough lobby area with some coffee and snacks as well as a good place to sit an enoy them. The location is the selling point, very close to the beach and a few blocks away from downtown, I didn't use a car while there. That was great. They also have a really cool rooftop hangout area with chairs to sit and relax. For what it's worth, my wife liked this place more then I did.

I'm staying in a two bedroom that's very spacious. We have a family of four and it's perfect. Two bedroom and two baths. This is a boutique feel, the staff is incredible. They have beach towels, toys, chairs and umbrellas to make your beach day perfection. The rooms are completely remodeled with a modern, beachy feel. The beds are comfortable with fluffy pillows and white comforters. I'm here in the peak season and it's around $7k for a week. I personally think it's worth paying more to be right on the beach. It's absolutely heaven to wake up to the sounds of the ocean and see the sunset on the water every night. Also, it's dog friendly!

NEW OWNER ALERT! Cockroaches, raw sewage, broken toilets, syringes. Booked 2 bdrm 2 bath beachfront…read more8/24-8/31 for a family reunion at a neighboring hotel. Have been a customer for 17 years as have many family members and friends. Checked in, paid my balance by check and they cashed within an hour. Arrived in room to 2 dead cockroaches and a toilet which wouldn't flush. A live roach runs into bathroom and under sink. Told mgr Lily she called maintenance man who should arrive in hour or two. In the mean time, chased 2-3 other cockroaches killed one. Wife flushed other toilet to see if it worked and it overflowed on to floor and shower backed up spewing sewage. The smell was unbearable. Put down towels called manager she said she'd call plumber now. Went to get a glass in the cupboard and found a glass full of syringes. Obviously this place has not been cleaned. BROKEN TOILETS, LIVE AND DEAD COCKROACHES, RAW SEWAGE,SYRINGES were the issues within the first two hours of our family vacation. Plumber arrived and fixed plumbing. Still nobody cleaned bathroom floor or shower. And it reeked of sewage. We asked if anyone was going to clean up the roaches and the manager finally did. Manager tried to get us to stay with discounts and other rooms but they had nothing comparable and we were disgusted and really couldn't see ourselves staying anywhere in this place. We chased a roach and moved a chest of drawers and found RODENT AND COCKROACH FECES (see photo)Final straw was my son finding roaches climbing up from the drain in the shower into the pan. That's it. We never unpacked so we put everything in the truck and drove 2 hours home. Vacation week ruined. Family reunion ruined. I called the next morning and spoke to Lily and said I was driving down to pick up my refund. She confirmed that I would be getting 100% refund and that the owner was there and valued us as a customer and wanted a second chance. All I wanted was my money back I said. Drove 2 1/2 hours to be greeted by a check for half my total. So they kept $2400. Unbelievable. I will never give uLIARS on top of it Enjoy the photos. I have more and video to be posted. UPDATE. Owner called 9/12 and said he would be sending the balance of the refund. STILL NOTHING. After a month, I received a full refund. Not pleased with what I had to do, and was prepared to do in order to effectuate the full refund. They could have tried to make it right but failed. Sorry to say we won't be customers again.

Calling it a "resort" is definitely a stretch. The hotel layout is similar to an apartment complex,…read morewith the pool at the center. So essentially most rooms on every floor are pool-facing and the concrete walkways become echo chambers for screaming/laughing children. I have no issues with kids having fun. But there seemed to be no supervision and screaming was heard clearly through our door all night both nights we stayed. Even worse was the DOOR SLAMMING. I'm not exaggerating - someone was slamming a door as hard as they could with all their might, maybe 3 or 4 times. Door exits into the open pool atrium (like all of our front doors) so the SLAM echoes loudly for all to hear. Impossible that staff didn't hear it. Then, same thing next night. Screaming kids and door slamming. For $450 a night, we shouldn't have had to deal with this. Also, thought it was weird that the entire property does not have one single public water fountain. Isn't that like against some public health code.. they did have a little electric water cooler in the lobby with a sopping wet towel under it for guest use though. Makes up for it I guess? The GOOD!.. Fantastic location, comfy pillows, very clean room and grounds, and an underground parking garage free for guests. But word to the wise, this is not anything like a "resort". Think a Days Inn built in 1993. Carpets and fixtures in dire need of replacement in our room.

Big enough for three families to stay and not be in anyone's way or cause problems, walking distance from the water your views are breathtaking and your refreshed with the breeze and sounds of the ocean at every hour of your vacation, kitchen is just hands down the best for any event or just casual dining. This house offers every age of the family to do something and or even adults busy when on a vacation. In a perfect location for shopping and dinning with friends/family. The houses around where very well kept and e no issues when staying there. Movie room / game rooms are pluses in my opinion along with the guest house in the back with separate balcony. Not to mention the top floor it's own apartment; beat home to rent while in town

Since hubby and I had time off, we decided to do something a little bit local, but far enough to feel like we were away from Orange County. So, we traveled south to Carlsbad. We packed up the kids and headed to the 2 bed 2 bath Wave unit in the Swell building. We were fortunate to be given early check in. Self check in was a breeze with the emailed instructions. Super cool feature: ELECTRONIC LOCKS! I felt like I was using The Force every time I waved my hand in front of the lock. There is a shed full of beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, a couple of soft top surfboards, umbrellas, and I think some canopies. Barbecues have dedicated gas lines. Oh, there's a game room! We got my son off the electronics long enough for a spirited game of foosball...the game room also includes Ms Pacman, an old school pinball machine and shuffleboard. There is also an outdoor shower with HOT WATER that my surfer dude relished. Speaking of hot water...on day 2, hubby went out for dawn patrol. When he came back from his early AM surf, he was looking forward to a hot shower. Our shower would not heat up! The other shower and every faucet in the unit ran hot water, but for some reason, our bathroom shower did not. I texted property management, they promptly replied, came in an hour to verify my findings, and sent a plumber to make repairs. Thank goodness for the in-unit washer and dryer. I threw in a beach towel in the dryer to defrost my hubsicle. Great management, awesome property. We hope to check out their other rentals! We appreciate the amenities and know we'll be taken care of should the need arise.
