My wife and I stayed here, and it was our first visit to Mussel Shoals. We really enjoyed the secluded location, and the condo was in great shape, we really enjoyed it and would recommend. The Jacuzzi was a great addition.
Don't stay for the hot tub - it doesn't work, they know it, and they won't tell you. Isolated area.
I purposely noted in my booking that we were staying SPECIFICALLY for the hot tub and I needed to be sure it worked. It didn't work, and they knew this way ahead of time. The only thing that worked was the heat and 4 of the 50+ jets in the tub on the back wall where you couldn't even sit. It was also filthy, full of some sort of hair - probably a dog, and sand all over the bottom. They came the second day we were there, under the pretense of looking at the hot tub, but all they did was wipe up the dog hair we strained from the water and left on the tub, and dumped more chlorine into it, which only resulted in a nasty slick extra foaming on the surface of the water.
Owners knew the tub wasn't working when I booked, said nothing because they knew once I got there it would be too late. I know this because they admitted they knew a "few" jets weren't functioning. Only 4 out of 50+ jets working is not a "few" dysfunctional jets. That is more than 90% of the tub not working. Then they tried to use the excuse that we were there "right after the high season" ... so I guess somehow it's our fault for being dumb enough to book a beach house after the "high season"???
All replies to my complaints were polite and given same day, however it was just a series of polite "We're sorry you're disappointed, but it's not our fault, we hope you enjoyed your stay and will come again". :-/
Don't book if you want the tub. Area is isolated. Permanent neighbors are rude.
Everything was wonderful. The location is terrific for the ez beach access, a short walk to wonderful Cliff House restaurant and many things to do, see, eat in Summerland and close by towns. The property was very comfortable and has wonderful views, amenities. Would definitely stay again. Management was veryy
Very cute and comfortable place to stay, snuggled in between Santa Barbara and Ventura with lots of surrounding areas to check out in either direction.
The best part was opening the sliding door and hearing the waves crash.
The hot tub was nice way to end the day as well.
Perfectly appointed property with everything we needed and a great location. The boyfriend surfed during the day while I worked. Caught sunrise and sunsets and enjoyed the hot tub.
My mom and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfy! Very clean, the kitchen was ready for whatever you wanted to do. Instructions are clear and simply. We were so close to the sea. It was literally around the corner. Could not really see it but loved listening to the waves at night. We have no complaints but if we could change anything it would to put something on the bathroom window. We literally people watch while showering. Lastly the photos of the front room are accurate BUT at night we didn't realize there was nothing to cover them at night. I would clearly state there is nothing on those glass walls at any time. Prudes like us kept watching the windows of surrounding houses to see if they could see up. We never felt comfortable walking in the main room without being fully dressed. That is not a complaint, just a opinion. :) I hope we can come back. I slept soooo good. thank you for being great hosts
This property was private , very clean and well maintained, nicely furnished and appointed with all essentials. The hot tub was great and the outside table with cafe lights was charming. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach which was very enjoyable!
We loved our stay. The apartment was perfect for my family- clean and modern. We enjoyed the deck and especially the hot tub. Plenty of towels and linens provided. We felt safe and secure. Highly recommend!
