Bonus Perks You’ll Love

We’ve designed this space to feel like home—with some thoughtful upgrades you don’t always find in a beach rental. Here’s what guests tell us makes their stay extra special:

Air Conditioning

Rare at the beach—but so appreciated in warmer months. Both the living room and bedroom have window A/C units to keep you cool and comfy.

Fully Stocked Spanish-Tiled Kitchen

Skip the overpriced takeout. This kitchen has everything—from a coffee maker and blender to spices, oils, and full cookware. Dine in, dine out, or dine under the stars.

California King Bed + Quality Linens

No stiff hotel mattress here. Sink into a plush king bed with fresh, hotel-grade linens, a down comforter, and blackout Roman shades.

Wind down with your favorite shows. We offer a 42" HDTV in the living room and a second TV in the bedroom—with tons of streaming and cable options.

Two Private Outdoor Spaces

Your own little slice of paradise. Enjoy morning coffee on the back deck and sunset dinners under the chandelier on the front patio.

Priority Garage Parking

Super rare this close to the beach. You'll have priority access to our shared garage (ideal for midsize or smaller cars). Great for stashing bikes, boards, and beach gear too.

In-Unit Laundry

No shared laundry room or quarters needed. You’ll have your own washer/dryer setup—ideal for long stays or beach-heavy days.

Who This Place Is Perfect For

This isn’t your typical beach crash pad—and that’s the point. This loft is best suited for:

Couples looking for a romantic and relaxed escape

Solo travelers needing a creative recharge by the ocean

Snowbirds or long-weekenders who want sunshine without the scene

Remote workers seeking a calming work-from-beach spot (WiFi’s solid!)

Design lovers who appreciate architecture, history, and curated spaces

We don’t host parties, and this isn’t a rowdy Pier Bowl rental. If you’re looking for a laid-back, walk-everywhere beach stay with charm and character, welcome home.
