I should have known what we were in for when the office gave me directions including "turn at the strip club". Not a great neighborhood, to say the least. Obviously, there's a reason they don't put the condo address on their website. They also didn't warn me about the home alarm system - and we experienced about 5 minutes of ear-piercing noise for me to find the code notation on the bottom of the information sheet they gave me at the office. 30 minutes later, a maintenance man showed up - on the beach-side - asking if we needed help with the alarm. Um, it's off and you're a bit scary. The photo of the beach patio is fairly accurate, but.... the condo inside was not well-kept. Leaky faucets, dingy/dirty floors, sinks, showers, toilets. There was no curtain on the window facing the beach (where folks walk by all times of day and night), so we had to hang a sheet. It was sort of like camping. Their ads said TV and there was one - but no cable (and no VCR/DVD player either, so what good was the TV?). When we made the trip over to the office to ask about the TV, they informed me that there shouldn't have been a TV in the condo since there was no cable service. The wi-fi DID work, however. Checkout instructions were a bit over the edge for receiving your deposit refund, including "you must sweep, close all curtains, drapes, doors, windows, clean this and that well, our cleaners do NOT wash dishes, our cleaners do NOT take out trash, .....". Not that we were at all messy, but we would have left the place much cleaner than we found it if we had followed all of the instructions. Overall, not impressed. We should have paid the extra $40-50/night to stay in the more modern, well-kept, Sandy Beach resort area. Next time.

We have rented in Mirador for years and this was our first trip with Gaviota among our numerous condos we rented to accomodate our family. It was a clean simple condo that was comfortable and pleasant to stay in.

Right on the beach close to old port fish market. Condo was clean and well stocked. Tv had no channels but wifi worked.

Cute, cozy house perfect for 6. Beach is literally steps away but there are a lot of rocks.. water shoes recommended especially for kids. A/C works great, fridge leaks a little and doesn't cool too well but the freezer works just fine. Toilets, you have to hold down the handle till water disappears but almost every beach home, plumbing is the same. No washer or dryer so make sure to hang your towels and not throw them on the floor. Wi-fi doesn't work but that wasn't a huge issue for us. Also, t.v. works but no cable or dvd player. Spacious car garage so you feel safe knowing your car is well secured as well as the home.

Overall, we were very satisfied. However, we did have refrigerator and freezer issues the first day as it started leaking all over the kitchen floor. We had to move the food to the coolers until the repair man showed up to fix it. After that, it worked fine. Plumbing is an issue with the Master Bath as you have to hold the handle down the entire time until the toilet finally flushes. Beds were very comfortable. Very close to town (5 min drive) to the Port and fish market areas. Futon could use a little attention. We've stayed in this area before so we knew in advance to bring good water shoes for the ocean because it is very rocky and you can easily get cut up pretty badly if you slip and fall onto the coral. When the tide goes out there are great areas to explore for crabs, octopus, starfish and other sea life. The beach is pretty private, no resorts around. The vendors and Banana Boat still show up though, which we enjoyed. I have two complaints about the garage... It would be nice if renters we given a garage door opener instead of having to unlock the gate and go into the garage to open the door. The single vehicle garage is very spacious as my F-150 fit with ample space all around it. However, there was a lot of debris that fell from the ceiling onto my truck as paint chips or other pieces of the ceiling fell. It could use some attention to prevent damage to other vehicles. We stayed 5 nights and never once heard noise from the strip club directly behind us (we read a lot of reviews that complained about the noise before we stayed). The club was open though, because we drove by several times. Also, the Lexus swim-up bar (attached to Pink Cadillac) across the street from the strip club is our favorite place! We go every time we stay in Rocky Point, and it's in walking distance from this condo. It's low on business, so they close up during some days of the week, but the pool is clean and service is great!
