We stayed at Beach Bungalow 3 from June 30 - July 5, 2019. While the place looks great in photos, we had a terrible stay.
This place has great potential: 6 blocks from the beach, nicely decorated, recently updated bathroom and kitchen, and a nice layout with separate master bedroom and bunk room for kids.
We were initially disappointed that the kids’ bedroom door did not close, the bathroom door did not lock, and the master tv had no outlet nearby making it unusable (unless you bring your own extension cord, I guess). We also could not find a washer/dryer even though the listing advertised both in the unit. The owner’s solution was to coordinate with the upstairs neighbors to use their washer/dryer, or he offered to do our laundry himself (no, thank you).
Our biggest hang up, however, was the activity in the unfinished room on the other side of the master bedroom (only a glass door separates the two rooms). We thought it odd that there was an extension cord from our room, under the door, to the unfinished room. We unplugged the cord from our room to plug in our laptop, and a homeless-looking man came to our door at 11:30 pm and asked us to plug it back in because he needed it for his fan and fridge in the unfinished room. We know that he slept there that night because we heard him coughing all night and could smell the smoke from his cigarettes in our bedroom. We called Steve, the owner, and he claimed he knew nothing about the man staying there. When the homeless-looking man showed up another night, Steve refused to get involved. My family felt unsafe having an unknown person staying in an unfinished porch separated only by a pane of glass and a curtain. We threatened to call the police and the man left.
On a final note, the ceiling in the dining room started leaking water our last day and we had to put pots under the drips, which were inconvenient as we were packing up to leave. The owner did not help at all.
We would never recommend this rental to friends or family.
