Liked the property itself a lot but...
We travel often & have stayed at many rental properties. However our experience with this property was unique. There were positives, but aspects of the property we were really surprised by.
Pros:
The pictures of the property are accurate. While it's small, it's clean & everything is in good shape. Washer/dryer REALLY came in handy. We had everything we needed at the property. We didn't cook, but we could have as all the basics were there.
Cons:
THIS PROPERTY IS NOT WALKING DISTANCE TO THE BEACH! The original listing said it was & this was why we chose this property. At best, it was a ~15 min drive to Newport Beach. When you are looking at the segment of the listing that lists how close the nearest beaches are, it's inaccurate. We looked at the proximity of the beaches to the house & the mileage in the listing isn't right. Also, you enter a code to get into the house. It's an electronic touch pad & very finicky. It went smoothly a small handful of times. The majority of the time we had to enter the code multiple times to lock & unlock the door. Lastly, my interactions with the owner made me feel like I was bothering her. Also she logged into Vrbo to message us rather than thru cell phones. It was super inconvenient. I had to keep logging into Vrbo to respond to her.
Overall, property is nice, but not as convenient. Several things could have been made so much easier without a lot of effort on the owner's part. Also, the inaccuracies in the listing were disappointing.
