Getting right to it: This oceanside apartment in the heart of Izu Peninsula deserves your attention. I found the one-bedroom unit to be a practical home base, just steps from Shirahama Chuo Beach. Inside, you’ll sleep Japanese-style on futon beds or a sofa bed – comfortably fitting up to 5 travelers if you don’t mind getting cozy. The private balcony serves up fresh sea breezes, while the kitchen lets you whip up meals between beach outings.
A couple hiccups to note: The futon-style sleeping might challenge less adventurous travelers used to Western beds, and at peak times the public baths can get crowded. But don’t let that stop you – the property more than makes up for it with its hot spring baths, convenient laundry facilities, and those handy vending machines for late-night cravings.
This place hits the sweet spot for families or small groups wanting to explore Izu’s natural wonders without breaking the bank. Beach lovers, in particular, will appreciate rolling out of bed and onto the sand. With a solid 7.4/10 rating, it’s an especially good fit for travelers who value location and amenities over luxury frills. Budget-conscious beach-goers, this one’s for you.
