Great location but no privacy with layout
Positives:
Pet friendly, kid friendly, peaceful and quiet, accommodates up to six people with a queen bed, a full bed, and two twin beds, plus a futon. Queen bed is comfy. Beach access is just around the corner. There's also additional beach access another two blocks in the same direction where you can take your dog. It's about two blocks from the main strip. There are plenty of towels provided for your use. The playground is very very close.
Negatives
The biggest negative is the layout. There are basically two rooms. In the room with the queen size bed, a futon, and a twin bed, the shower is pretty much in the center of the room. The shower is glass on two sides, although there are some pretty thick hefty curtains hung around it so that you can shower unobserved. However if you are rooming with pranksters, they can easily pull the curtain back and everyone can watch you shower. You will have to dress and undress in the shower unless you want to dress and undress in front of the people who are staying in the room with you. Also, there is no light in the shower so once you close the privacy curtains it gets pretty dark. While the sink and toilet are in a little cubby area with a door, it is also pretty much in the center of the room. The lighting is also challenging because either you all go to bed at the same time or somebody has to sleep with the lights on in each room. There is a lamp by the queen size bed, but otherwise everyone sleeping in the same area has to agree on whether or not the strand of recessed lights are on or off. The futon is not very comfortable for sitting or for sleeping. Most mattresses feel very cheap and hard. Check in was more complicated than expected and of course someone was parked in my spot. Your only recourse if you need anything is to call or text captain Al. This is a loft, so be aware that there are a lot of stairs. Everything outdoors is a common area with other rental properties around. The rug in the second bedroom really needs to be replaced. If you are over 5'5, you will bump your head a lot; expect slanted ceilings in both rooms. There is very little closet space or storage space for your clothing. Expect to live out of your suitcase. There's also no room for any storage in the bathroom. It's just a toilet and a pedestal sink in a little closet. Temperature control is an issue. If you want it any warmer or cooler, you have to text the owner. There's no way for you to adjust it by yourself.
