Perfect location. The place is cozy, clean, and modern. It’s close to the ocean, and you can hear the waves from the room. Parking is right by the units. I appreciated having a fridge and microwave. Everything was well kept. I’ll stay here again whenever I’m in between places in Central California. No AC. They did have a ceiling fan.

Property was rundown, moldy, rusted and dusty. If you have respiratory issues don’t stay here. The AC/Heat unit is filthy. The fan doesn’t work. There was dirt and hair on the floor and clean towels. I brought the issues up to the property manager on duty. He couldn’t care less. Save your money stay elsewhere.
