This beautiful 1Bd 1 Ba apartment is the back property to our other Beach House. VRBO # 476993 Check out the reviews and location. It is completely detached from the house with separate driveways, parking, and entrances. Ask about discounts when both units are rented together. Great for extended families, couples that want extra privacy, grandparents and larger groups, etc. This classic beach pad is steps to the sand and has incredible beach access as well as direct access to our beautiful 4.3 mile beach trail. Escalones in Spanish means 'steps' this is quite literally the steps apartment. It is steps to the beach and it is at the top of the steps of the property overlooking the neighborhood , street, and with a peek a boo ocean view. The neighbors have a lush tropical palm forest that block a rather nice direct ocean view.From the time you arrive to this cozy and contemporary beach oasis with its off street parking and full laundry facilities it is time to relax. Stroll down to Fisherman's on the pier and enjoy a sunset cocktail and wonderful seafood while perched above the crashing waves. Enjoy the full kitchen and dining room with its brand new dining set. Morning coffee seems to be more enjoyable out on the front balcony taking in the morning sun while watching people make their way down to to the beach via our convenient beach path only yards away.

Super cozy place, we had an excellent stay. Half mile to down town. The beach access’s right there is still closed sadly.

This is a nice little place. Having parking, air conditioning, and a full kitchen were amazing and made this place feel like home. The host was very responsive when we had questions, and the check in was simple. The access to Mariposa (the nearest beach) is closed currently, but Linda Lane is a short walk away. There is a partial ocean view, and a nice balcony to have your coffee in the morning and generally the place is really cozy. Highly recommend. Oh, also check out the new Miramar Food Hall, it’s walking distance with lots of food options.

Overall this was an excellent experience. Host was awesome and super responsive to communication. I love the apartment we stayed in. Super clean. Felt very comfortable. Felt private for being in a big beach town. Really excellent experience. The only small thing to note is that while the property is listed as being a short 100yard walk to beach access. However, the bridge to the beach is closed and appears to have been closed for some time due to repairs to the hillside for landslide prevention. The biggest deciding factor for my wife and I in choosing this place was ease of beach access compared to a couple other places we were considering. Had we known that the access point was closed, we probably would have stayed elsewhere. Again, this is an awesome property and would stay here again, I would just recommend contact the host before booking to verify beach access is open and construction is complete.
