Host was wonderful and very responsive to work with. Overall it was good cozy space. Quiet and close to the beach. Private beach was quiet and not overcrowded. Could stand to have some deep cleaning (thick layer of dust on blinds and stained furniture for example.) Value for space was great. Including parking spaces was nice. Balcony ocean beach view was great to have.
