"The staff was fabulous! I liked the ocean view from our room, the 1 block walk to the beach and the super convenient shuttle up the hill to the shops and restaurants. Didn’t need a shuttle back to the hotel, the walk downhill being so pleasant. It was very close to the 17-mile drive. There is parking onsite. The room was very clean."

3897 Driftwood - Walk to Beach & Mission, Hot Tub

8/10 Good
"Enjoyed the hot tub. The property is very nice, but could use some new upholstery on the sofas and a new area rug in the great room. The beds and bedding were nice. The master bath was new and looked very modern. The kitchen was clean and modern.We had an issue with the smoke alarm going off two separate times late one night. Eventually someone came to take the battery out. The gentleman who came to help us understand the TV and how to program it, was very helpful.We would rent this property again."
