"Great location for beach access and Balboa touristy activities. It was a clean unit, no insects (not even the prevalent sugar ants in this area!), and we loved the kitchen for cooking our own meals. The host sent additional flatware before we arrived to accommodate our family of 6. We also loved having garage parking and on-site laundry for our stay. There was plenty of bedding, towels, beach towels, toilet paper, garbage bags. This is an older unit, and the furniture and accessories reflect that. The sofas could use a thorough steam cleaning. The beds/mattresses are VERY loud/creaky and stiff. Also the walls are thin and we could hear our next-door neighbors several times each night on both sides coughing/using the bathroom (which means they could probably hear us, too). If you plan to use the garage, make sure you get the garage code BEFORE you arrive. I texted the host when we arrived and didn't hear back for almost 24 hours for the code. Luckily we figured out an alternative before that. Also if you have a larger or high clearance vehicle, beware you may need to push/prop up the garage door - we have a Toyota Sequoia with a standard roof rack and couldn't fit without scraping so had to manually lift the garage door up to pull in/out each time. Overall we enjoyed our stay. But we didn't spend a lot of time in the unit besides eating/sleeping. It does have a very small patio, but no direct sunlight or any view besides neighbor walls. Something to keep in mind! :)"

"The property is rated as 7.8 and if it was not by the beach the rating should be way lower Mold in the bathroom all over, the Headboard to bed was filthy, the desk looked like a hammer was beat on it. The mini fridge just sitting on the floor like it was just brought in from outside. We checked in and left to another hotel immediately after seeing room."
