2 Level Townhouse + Sky Deck + Steps to Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly what the listing says. Great location and full stocked with essentials like dishes, cookware and beach stuff. A little outdated but well maintained. Some of the outlets were finicky. But we managed just fine. One of the easiest check-in/out I’ve experienced yet!"

Newly remodeled- Panoramic Views- Last Minute Discount

8/10 Good

"This is an amazing location. The view of the harbor inlet was gorgeous. Watching the boats, paddlers, seals, dolphins and airplanes was very fun. The beach/ocean front was just a quick 5 min walk. The boardwalk area is an easy stroll to all kinds of restaurants/bars. It was close to all the boardwalk fun but not in the direct mix so quiet. The host was very responsive to messages. Pros. Location, view outstanding, size (We had 9a/3c), 2 off street parking spaces, boat, airplane, wild life watching, kitchen well equipped, quite neighborhood. ConsAirplane flight path(the airport has night time restrictions ), not a lot of beach gear so bring your own, portable ac units in the bedrooms."

10/10 Excellent

"Location couldn’t have been better. The space was great for my family of 5. Also perfect for our morning walks for coffee, plenty of good spots close by."

Oceanfront * 2 Penthouses * Views Galore * Dogs OK!

10/10 Excellent

"Well appointed kitchen, great space to cook, eat, hang out for 14 of us from 9mo. babe to 66yr old. Excellent views just like in the photos. Glad we had both penthouses to get a break from bright sun in #7. No stairs from covered parking to apt was a requirement for us, and elevator worked great. Great places to walk, easy access to SD sights. Great place for an O’Hana reunion, would stay again!"
