Location great, communication with host excellent, extra towel fee odd,(packed our own in checked bag), kitchen dated but well equipped, beds comfortable. The master tub not working was a disappointment, our grand girls usually warm up in tub after playing in surf. Tub leaks at faucet, appears to have needed repairs for many months. Elevator was convenient for bags. We did not use grill, charcoal not gas. Parking ample , which is uncommon in beach communities. Overall, a fun place to stay.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The pictures do not do it justice. It was well stocked with all the supplies you would expect to have and the location just can not be beat. The host was communicative and helpful with the booking and check-in/check-out process. We are already thinking about when we can plan our next trip! A+ listing!

Stayed a few nights with our young children. The top floor is fantastic, great views of the ocean and very spacious. Hosts were very communicative and responsive. Recommended!

Amazing views and location - just steps to the beach, ample garage space. Stocked house, though amenities are universally not modern (and some small features didn't work - e.g., hot water knob for the bathtub in the master bedroom just leaked water on the tub sides and floor, so we never could use it). Need to be honest about one major issue - unfortunately need to echo feedback from other renters on cleanliness of the house upon arrival. Not sure if the owners use their own or VRBO cleaners, but it was truly unacceptable, and they need to fire them and find a new service immediately. We took many pictures to document these issues (including before and after). It was to an extent where we went to the nearest Safeway to stock up on ~$150 of cleaning supplies including a Swiffer, and ultimately spent 6-7 hours over 2 days cleaning the place to acceptable levels (in addition to laundering all bedsheets and comforters). Not how we thought we'd be spending a beach vacation. There was built-up grime in every corner and crevice, old dried up sand under every carpet, dead bugs on every window sill, dirty windows which hadn't been touched in ages (some Windex and elbow grease got the job done, besides those which were not safely in reach), rugs and any fabric surfaces were old, stained, and musty, and the outdoor spaces were... well let's just say large dried up bird droppings on every outdoor table and the ground, which didn't appear to have been swept this year.

This house is NOT your ordinary beach rental. It is furnished in a grand style, with (almost) everything up to date and in working order.

Spent the week in Rio Del Mar with family and friends. Wonderful home. So close to the beach. Incredible views from the assorted decks. Comfortable home with three bedrooms. The top floor great room (kitchen, dining, living) was perfect for our family gatherings. Ample room, soft, open furniture. Kitchen was well supplied. A great bonus was to have the elevator that enabled us to move our supplies in and out of the home easily. Definitely would love to rent again. The house managers were phenomenal, very friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great week!

Very nice house with a great view of the bay. Spacious and lovely. Lots of stairs but there's an elevator too. Bring your binoculars!

This property has an amazing view of the ocean and easy proximity to the beach. We visited on a rainy February weekend but still had a fabulous time! The house is beautiful, the kitchen well-equipped and there are sand toys and body boards available which is a welcome addition when traveling with children. Highly recommended!
