Great location to the boardwalk and beach. Place was cozy and cute. Upon arrival they said the AC was out and would be replaced the following week which didn’t help us. We opened some windows to cool it down which worked in the evening, but it was one of the things we were looking for when booking. Overall a great place. Lots of beach toys, chairs and a wagon. We cooked in the kitchen and loved the upstairs area for the teenagers.

Great place! They provide all that you need for the beach, wagon, beach throws, umbrellas, chairs, cooler, dance toys, etc. Would say the beach towels were a little lackluster but I understand from host perspective, if they're too nice people will lift them from the place. We did bring our own so not a big deal. 3 min walk to 15th st surf shop where you can rent bicycles by the hour, overnight, or days to a week at a time, very reasonably priced! Garage is small so did street parking and left it there as no need to drive given location is very walkable and bicycle-friendly. Would definitely stay again!
