We stayed the last week of September/first week of October. The check-in process has been perfected. Directions provided were spot-on. The unit is bright, comfortable, open and airy, and has enough space that you can get away and spend time inside or outside reading or just chilling. We found that the kitchen had all of the pots/pans/utensils we needed to make several meals and we appreciated the full size dining room table. The beach items (chairs, blankets, towels, umbrella) were fantastic and we used many of them several times. Location is convenient to groceries (Ralph’s, Trader Joe’s, Gelson’s) and restaurants (Salt Creek Grille and RJ’s were favorites). The walking trail to the beach puts you about 15 minutes away and the views are stunning (go counter clockwise when you get to the resort, the beach opens up in front of you - amazing!) There is nothing we did not like about this place and we hope to return some day.
