Pleasant unit in great location

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this penthouse condo. It’s fun watching people use the sports court on the beach and surfing in the distance, and it’s an easy 10min walk to Belmont, 5min walk to some good coffee and breakfast spots, and 15 to 20min walk to many other restaurants and activities.Note that you should plan to bring or buy your own sand/beach supplies (e.g. chairs, umbrellas, etc). Also note that unit doesn’t have AC, but during our stay we were able to be comfortable with ocean breezes and strategic opening of windows/doors.Remainder of amenities were useful: sugar/salt/pepper, pots and pans, coffee filters, etc. Had what we needed, and getting anything else we wanted was easy. Glad we chose this spot!

Amazing Sunset Views & Location

Property was in the perfect location! Far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to walk/ride bikes to restaurants, Belmont Park, etc. Amazing sunsets and bonfires on the beach, right in front of the condo. Check in was easy and Maurice/Property Manager was very responsive to some minor issues. We had an awesome vacation and will be back!

Will come again!

Our week at this property was amazing. The location was totally perfect - directly on the beach exactly where the girls' surfing lessons were based through Pacific Surf School via Duchess Ride out of Colorado. The kids could run back to use the bathroom! If you like volleyball this is also a great spot with 20+ courts right in front of you. The spot is 5min walk from coffee/Blue Palm restaurant and a market and a 8-10min walk from the Bellmont Park area via a lovely stroll along the beach bike path. The apartment is aligned such that the sun rises in the back so it is not so bright first thing and then sets directly in front giving the apartment's top floor deck and living space prime viewing. This apartment also faces the broader beach probably better than the other side of this apartment complex. The kitchen had everything we needed. We also appreciated all the paper products, kitchen and laundry soaps, and the closet did include a few beach towels though the description said they were not included. There was also hand soap, bath soap and shampoo but no conditioner. Super easy to get in and out with the door code. The parking spot was convenient but would be tight for two cars. Great for one small car (due to the very narrow entry) and storage. The only things I would have loved to have at the site were cruiser bikes and boggie boards. Apartments that other friends rented included those items. Overall it was wonderful and we would stay there again.

Great stay on the beach

Our stay at Fun in the Sun Penthouse was awesome! The location and view cannot be beat. The property manager was very responsive and replied to emails almost immediately. The house was clean, and had everything we needed to prepare meals. The only suggestion I would give would be to have a few beach chairs for use. We flew in from Seattle, so we couldn't bring anything like that with us. Other than that, it was perfect!

Spring Break

Overall the property was ideal for our family Spring Break. The location just steps from the beach and Belmont Amusement park was ideal for running back and forth with small kids and a dog. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the basic necessities. However upon arrival there was a strong chemical smell that lingered throughout our stay from a mop stored in the closet and the living room furniture and chair cushions need to be replaced due to stains wearing. Prior to booking I read that cleanliness was a concern and I would concur. I expect higher quality for the per night price.

Beach Condo

Enjoyed our stay.....awesome location and view. Garage = Very tight to get a large vehicle inside; however, our Yukon XL fit with 2" to spare on each side of the garage door opening. Challenging, but possible! Bedrooms = There are not two twin beds in Bedroom #2. It has a twin bed and a pull out trundle bed (this room sleeps 2, not 4)

Great views and location

The property is in a gorgeous location. The views are incredible. The house does have the essentials and a nice kitchen and living space. The main observation we had was the cleanliness of condo. The couch was definitely worn down, the patio furniture was tattered with cushions missing, and the floor was gritty with dirt/sand. We did have a great time during our stay! For the price you cannot beat the location and views. Overall would still recommend as a nice place to stay at the beach.
