Frommer's Recommended

This former budget property, located just across the street from a terrific white-sand beach, has a new management team who have spiffed up the studio and one-bedroom units with custom furniture, and added air-conditioning and several amenities not usually seen at small properties (like high-speed Internet access and concierge services). The units have been tastefully redecorated. The one-bedrooms, which have a pull-out sofa in the living room and new appliances in the kitchen, are a deal during low season. All units have private lanais with ocean views with the beach just a few steps away, and there's a gas barbecue for guests' use. The new owners also bought the apartment complex next door, revamping everything and putting slate in the bathroom and new tile on the floor, buying new furniture, and repainting. The units are small, but the lanais are large, the price is right, and the beach is just across the street. There's also a gas barbecue available. Plus there's a rooftop lanai where you can sit in the hot tub and enjoy great ocean views.
