We stayed in the first night & went out the second night. it was a short stay (weekend) but we had stayed there before. The process of getting the reservation was easy, the stay was superb (plenty of plates, glasses, utensils - we forgot condiments!), & the exit was easy. We went out on a tour - Oceanside Whale Watching - didn't see any whales but saw a school of dolphins who followed the boat. Overall, it was a great weekend!
