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.

We just got home from our 1st stay here, and as always it was amazing! We rented one of the…read morestudios and I was surprised at how spacious it was! Being just a few feet from the ocean was a wonderful experience for us. The lovely owner provides all the beach things you could need, such as boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, etc. The location is perfect. We walked to get coffee and breakfast sandwiches each morning, and explored around town. For dinner: You can use a application called Ride circuit and it will take you to the bars and bring you back and it's inexpensive Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is so soothing was the best part I have decided this is our annual birthday trip/vacation spot and I am already counting down the days to next year!

We had such a great time at this house. Upon check-in, Don and Pat greeted us to show us where…read moreeverything was and how to operate things. They supplied everything needed to make guacamole and even gave us a bottle of white and red wine! The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We had planned this trip with a group of friends. It's often hard to please everyone in a group but absolutely every person LOVED this house. I sometimes prefer hotels over renting a home because I like the cleanliness and luxuriousness of a hotel, but this was MUCH better. The towels were extremely fluffy and soft, the beds were like sleeping on a cloud, and they even provided little amenity baskets in each bathroom. Everything was done to the service standards of a hotel but with a much more cozy, homelike feel. It was a perfect house for a group. The dining table is large and there is plenty of kitchen space. They have a lot of kitchen supplies, so pretty much anything you could need will be there. They also have a smart TV in the living room so you can log in to your Netflix/other streaming accounts and not have to worry about renting movies or bringing anything. The pool was absolutely amazing. The beach entry and waterfall made it feel like you were somewhere tropical. It really felt like a vacation sitting outside in this backyard. We will definitely be coming back to this house in the future! Don and Pat were such great hosts.

Booked through Airbnb to host our family group while we laid out Navy Veteran to rest at sea…read more Pricing: -You will be charged additional fees for EVERYTHING +Before and during the stay there were options made available to add nights prior and after check out. That was nice. -Overall for the quality and the services rendered, it would have been cheaper to stay in an actual hotel with consistent amenities and breakfast options. Amenities: +Walking distance to the beach. +It was nice that almost every room had an adjoining bathroom. +The room rental had a killer view of the ocean. +Theres a lot to do in the area +There was a hot tub on the third story that was neat. +There were several balconies within the unit, some facing the ocean and some facing the city. It was nice to have different spaces like this. Host Communications: -This is not an independent home or individual running location, it's a corporate operation that's using Airbnb to host their properties. We had a contact person but everything was through "Beachfront Only Vacation Rentals." -Maintenance had to come three different times during the course of a weekend stay. At this point a hotel would have knocked fees off, upgraded you, moved you rooms, no efforts were made to make this right for us. When you have guests that experience as many issues with a rental as we did; you have a responsibility to make that right on your end. This wasn't a summer beach vacation. This was a Navy Veteran funeral service. Services were at several places nearby and at sea, but all of us stayed in the rental. The last thing any of us had the head space for, was extra issues during an already difficult time. The night before the funeral we were going to make pizza for our group. No oven. By the time the handyman showed up there wasn't time to do this and we had to scramble to feed a large group at the last minute, with no compensation for the evening they ruined. Issues: -Not handicap accessible (the shore is accessible over rocky terrain and not during high tide at all). There are stairs all over the house and an elevator you have to pay additional service fees for. -Older appliances. Despite the listings offering a newly renovated atmosphere, you can tell corners were cut and several of the appliances didn't work; like the fire pit, TVs, oven. (I'm wondering if they disable the oven due to all the reviews I've read about similar issues). -Tell tale signs of rust and wear. Throughout the house in several places, things are rusting. I know the salt content in the air makes this happen, but I shouldn't have to worry about tetanus when I flush a toilet. -Cleanliness was not up to par. The floors turned everyone's feet black. There are hardwood floors throughout the rental, so you constantly feel like there is dirt and things stuck to your feet. Bathrooms didn't seem clean & one of the showers had mystery spots in it??? -Not adequate supplies for larger groups. Our group was well below the maximum occupancy and we ran out of towels the first night. Soaps and toilet paper in some bathrooms ran out as well. -Everything electronic (lights & A/C units) is run on timers and will not stay on longer than 30 minutes. We had one of our family members slip and fall during our stay because lights in the shower turned off. -The rentals are built so close to each other that having windows open or being on balconies doesn't offer as much privacy as I would have liked. -Everything is wet and humid. I'm aware that ocean front humidity is uncontrollable. For some reason every other location I've ever stayed with didn't have this issue. Swim clothes didn't dry, even after being hung out for days at a time. Books and papers warped, everything felt damp. The rental gave us an opportunity to come together and take care of the main reason we were there. The host issues and state of the Airbnb though made all of it a lot harder than it had to be. In a city where you are spoiled for choice when it comes to accommodations, more care and consideration should have been given. Good luck guys.

I rented this property for a 4-night stay at a cost of approximately $2,000. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience did not match what was advertised. During our stay, we encountered numerous issues, including: * A non-functional sliding door in the only ocean-view room. * A fireplace that was initially not working. * A broken kitchen faucet that resulted in no running water in the kitchen until it was repaired. * An AC unit in the "Sand Harbor" room that did not cool properly and made a loud rattling noise. * Multiple windows without screens, including the largest window in the house, while the screens that were present were dirty. * A jacuzzi with water too low to use the jets and no instructions or hose available to refill it. * Cleanliness concerns upon arrival. * Multiple maintenance visits during our vacation. To the company's credit, some issues were addressed during our stay, and they ultimately issued a $200 refund. However, given the number of problems and the overall impact on what was advertised as a premium vacation rental, I did not feel the resolution reflected the experience we had. This review reflects my personal experience so that future guests can make an informed decision.

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!

Check-in was effortless and so quick. I really appreciate the clear communication and easy instructions. I personally loved staying in Unit #4, you have the best of both worlds, proximity to the upper street during the day and the stunning ocean view on the upper level. The unit is small but honestly the perfect size for a couple. It's an older building but that adds to the charm. You truly feel like you are living like a local. It comes equipped with everything you need. Plenty of linens and toiletries. Even beach chairs and lanterns. The high deck chairs on the patio are perfect for sitting and watching the sunset or looking for dolphins off the coast. I felt super safe the whole time. The property is within walking distance to coffee shops, the pier, dining and more. Highly recommend a stay. Can't wait to go back.

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.

While I'm originally from San Diego, I'm unfamiliar with the real estate market other than looking at properties on Zillow. While talking to a childhood friend, she recommended her realtor Erin and gave me her number. It felt too intrusive to call her personal cellphone so I decided to go to her website to learn more about her and ultimately decided to call the general number. Well, guess who answered?! lol Erin. I had to mute the phone shortly after she answered because I was awkwardly giggling to myself like a crazy person. I guess I just figured someone from her team would answer so it's funny I ended up talking to her anyway. We had a nice conversation. While I had many questions, she patiently answered them all. She offered locations to consider in my price range, townhomes and single family homes and places that don't charge an HOA. I thought HOA's were only on condo's, derp. Erin demonstrated to me that she's more interested in the relationship than the transaction and I respect that. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment at her office next week so she can help me with planning.

It was time for my mom to finally downsize to a home which would be more manageable; square footage to yard maintenance; for someone in their 80's. Therefore, I searched Yelp and after viewing the realtors on Yelp, Erin Wade stood out even before I read her reviews. I called Erin and set up a meet and greet with my mom and husband to discuss options for selling and buying a home in the area. From starting to finish, Erin was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free and successful for my mom who has never had to deal with selling and buying a home for over 30+ years. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, communication was always clear and timely, and she responded to all texts and/or emails in a timely matter even while out of town for family event. If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence. Erin made sure we were kept in the loop on any information about the property my mom was selling and the one she was purchasing. Erin really catered to my mom's needs and to my husband and my expectations during the process. Overall, Erin made us feel we were the only customer even though we know that is not true. We; my mom, husband and I, are grateful to have found Erin Wade and her team to help my mom sell her home and find her forever home. If you are looking for a great, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable Realtor. Erin Wade is that Realtor. I will definitely call Erin Wade when I am in the market to sell my home.
