Wonderful!
We had a lovely stay at this property! The location was perfect, just a quick walk to the beach and surrounded by many shops and restaurants! The property manager was very helpful when we needed to store our bags before checkin as well as accommodating our need for a late check out! Definitely recommend!

Nice Studio!
I stayed here for a week while visiting family in the area. This studio, while basic, had everything I needed and is great for one person. It was clean and the owners communicated well. I had no problem finding convenient street parking. I would stay here again.

Great Location!
The check in/out process was so easy, well stocked and we loved the location right between the Ocean and Bay, we watched the boat parade right behind the Unit. I would however suggest having a couple blankets stocked in the Closet, it got a bit chilly at night. I would definitely recommend this Unit and come back to stay again.

Great little place. Loved the location. Only things that could be improved would be a bigger bathroom and shower and smaller kitchen. And rug under bed. It also smelled like smoke when AC wasn’t on (when we first got there).

Beach studio
The property is close to the beach, but on a main highway. The garage parking spot is too small for a small SUV and only big enough for a small car so we parked on the street. It wasn't a problem, but could be in the peak of summer.

Perfect home for the two of us!
So glad we decided to come…b/c the weather was going to be bad, we contemplated cancelling - it didn’t work out to cancel & we’re so glad it didn’t! What a beautiful place, the peninsula & so close to the beach & restaurants! Janet’s home was perfect for the two of us as opposed to a hotel that just gives you beds to sleep in & bathrooms! We loved the conveniences of home: the little living room, full kitchen, a little garage & lots of storage! For the most part, it was quiet where we were but could hear the neighbors a few times. As the reviews said, the home was very clean which made it that much more comfortable to stay there. We so appreciate getting to stay in your home, Janet, thank you for letting us stay there & for being so attentive to our questions! We loved staying here!

Great location perfect for a couple's getaway
We had a great visit to one of our favorite places in CA. This unit is perfect for a couple. Well stocked unit including beach chairs and boogie boards. Owners were very responsive and accommodating. We rented a Fiat 500 from Turo that fit perfectly into the garage. We always rent bikes from 20th St Beach and Bikes, great prices and you can easily ride anywhere from Balboa Island to Huntington. They also rent SUPs you can launch just across the street.

Home Away From Home
This compact studio was very conveniently located to the beach. We had the front unit with windows facing the shared courtyard. The weather was nice for us, so we used the courtyard a lot for our meals. So nice to have the little kitchen. The bed was comfortable. We never had a problem finding parking within a block of the unit.
