    Nice little place near the beach

    The room wasn't very clean. Everything that doesn't get used often has a good layer of dust on it and there was beach sand on the polished concrete floors. The TV remotes were a bit grimy. It wasn't so bad that I won't stay there again. The top windows don't have shades, so the room lit up like a bulb as soon as the sun came up.

    It's a very short walk to the beach and several restaurants. Nice decor. Very simple and modern. Quiet at night. It's in a safe neighborhood. It has a designated parking spot, right outside the door. Making it easy to unload and load your vehicle.

    TV in the bedroom was programmed to return to CNN after a certain period of time. Annoying

    Beautifully appointed, modern design, full kitchen, comfortable accommodations with parking right next to the front door. Great location, walkable distance to beach, stores and restaurants

    Unit 1 was situated next to the road, so traffic noise could be heard from quite early in the morning. Also construction work started quite early on the house next door which was a bit annoying as we were on vacation.

    Good location, very near to beach. Also well located for the short drive to San Francisco airport.

    The smell of the disinfectant was intense despite keeping windows open for 2 days couldn’t enjoy being inside because of the Lysol smell. Also the remodeling next door was more noise than we would like while trying to relax there. Would like to be noticed before hand they’re doing construction next door. Also the noise from next door a trucking business Nextdoor.

    Great parking , view was nice but not ocean view. Walking distance to brewery, restaurants and the ocean. Very cute bungalow , separate bedroom felt safe in the neighborhood.

    Although the casita came stocked with coffee, there wasn’t any tea (even though there was a tea pot in the unit.) The unit did not have a luggage rack.

    I liked that it was a separate casita. I also liked its location….close to the beach and close to restaurants.

    Temperature control was difficult because the heated floors were only in the bedroom/bathroom, so it got hot at night, while the living room was cold.

    Wonderful location and the heated floors!

    Great location within walking distance of several restaurants and supermarket. less than a 2 minute walk before your feet feel the softness of the sand on a beautiful beach. Property is just as it appears in the advertisement, very clean. The area experienced a late evening power outage however upon our return we found candles placed at the front door by staff, resulting in a very nice candlelight night.

    No deadbolt on the front door. Little ones can open and walk out unless you completely block the door with furniture. Shower door opens into shower?? Think it was installed half hazardly, as well as some other things that make it feel like a quick construction job (cutout in wall with picture hung that covers part of it??)

    Clean and convenient. Close to San Francisco, but also out of the city. Great views just a short drive south. Excellent staff that responded quickly to inquiries.

    There wasn’t really anywhere to put your luggage or at least to get it out of the way. Also, not a lot of space in the bathroom for things and no tissue. But overall a great place to stay. If we ever come back to the area we will definitely consider Anchor Inn.

    Very quaint and quiet. Loved the access to the stores and beach.

    Nothing much, to be honest. It is just a great place to stay. A bit more kitchen utilities (wine glasses, cutlery (only one small spoon) would be appreciated.

    The location is wonderful. The views are stunning and local shops, restaurants and grocery stores are in walking distance (just down the road). It is a real gem.

    I wished there was a tea kettle but that’s nitpicking. There didn’t seem to be any air conditioning but the days were only 60s so we just opened some windows. Oh, and the conditioner dispenser didn’t work. Still, all small stuff.

    It’s more like an Air B n B except we needed an extra sheet for the sofa bed, I texted the contact, and the sheet plus some towels showed up pretty quick. We drove up from LA so brought our own drinks/snacks. We loved the location and the unit itself. Will stay there again.
