Seascape Garden Studio Minutes From Ocean Or Redwoods

Seascape Garden Studio Minutes From Ocean Or Redwoods

8/10 Good
"Well kept single room studio with en suite bath & shower, both of which are roomy. Hosts were lovely and enjoyed speaking with them. Walk to see the beach is through a nice neighborhood and past the resort. Trails in front of the resort are very nice. Little shops across from the resort provide essentials including ice cream. WiFi set up for us was easy via my laptop and the Ethernet speed was good speed for college football watching and fantasy football draft. Off street parking right in front was convenient. Love all the succulents in the small private garden outside the sliding door entrance."

"All great but on hot summer days the host could’ve noted there is really no A/C as such I believe - the controls show as if A/c exists but there was no cooling - we had to open up the windows and doors at night - which was fine since the sound of the waves was great as background while sleeping. Also the 3 in one soap in the showers wasn’t great as a normal shampoo / conditioner- it’d be better to add normal shampoo/ conditioners in the showers. Minor issues to a fantastic place great views and the seascape resort itself is just wonderful in summer - esp the landscaping and trails along the bluff overlooking the sea - and paths to the beach."

"overall, the property was very nice and well-maintained. There were more bugs than I was comfortable with, but that had a lot to do with the location. The access to the beach was a little bit of brain damage but manageable overall everything went well and I would recommend this property to other people with bigger parties."
