"Cozy upstairs apartment with ocean views all around. Close to the beach. The host was kind, and made sure we had a wonderful stay. The apartment was clean and well stocked. The queen bed was very comfortable. We have booked from this host twice, and will definitely be back to this property. We were very comfortable. The property is quiet, and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach all night. Very peaceful."

10/10 Excellent
"This is a lovely motel. Loved parking right next to the room. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Next stay, I will request the 2nd floor as you really need to leave the windows open and being on the first floor means you are open to the parking lot and anyone walking by. The ocean is steps away and even though the fires were burning in Big Sur, the ocean breeze carried the smoke away."
