This property is retro to the max. We booked it knowing it was an older property and liked that it still had a lot of the original features like the circular fireplace and built in sofa. Although our stay was totally fine, I was a little disappointed that a lot of the amenities were also “retro”, meaning the kitchen implements, towels, barbecue, and patio furniture were all pretty basic, mismatched, and out of date. Worth noting that there is no dishwasher. Also worth noting that the house definitely has a funky smell due to the original shag carpet and upholstery. Potential guests should also note that the main (upstairs) bath has a bathtub only, without a hand shower, so you can only take baths. The downstairs bathroom, which is much smaller and less nice, does have a small shower stall. The barbecue is an older Weber charcoal grill, which was fine for our purposes, but definitely not adequate for the barbecue enthusiast. We were hoping that there might be a way to walk to the beach, but unfortunately the trail, which is outlined in the guest book, is closed, and after exploring the first few feet we understood why- it is an extremely steep, dangerous trail with “stairs” made of old tires and no hand rail or anything to grab onto. That trail made our climb up Mt. Whitney seem like a walk in the park. Do not attempt! All in all, if you are looking for a retro funky beach-adjacent hangout spot, this place one of the more affordable spots left.
