"We had a great stay. Only one block to the beach. We are native to north county but moved out of state and will definitely stay in one of Rene’s properties again when in town to visit family. There were plenty of beach chairs, towels, toys and a wagon. The washer and dryer look brand new and are huge! Just bring some detergent with you and take home everything clean. The kitchen has all the necessary dishes and cooking accessories, just bring along some ground coffee for your morning brew. Complex was completely quiet during our stay."
