The beach is our happy place--and this location was absolutely perfect, even better than described. The home was well-appointed. From three very comfortable rooms, two bathrooms, and a large open common area with plenty of seating around the table and sofa. The decor was gorgeous--beach chic and simple which gave plenty of space for our items and to feel at home for our stay. The home includes all the items you could possibly want for the beach or the bay--our family utilized the paddle boards, kayak, wagons, and chairs. The beach really is just a few yards from the front door and, while the home doesn't have a beach view from inside, you can hear the waves crashing with the window open. We watched several sunsets sitting on the ledge not far from the front door. Excellent shell hunting and we saw several dolphins from the shore. Just one block the other direction is the bay---providing early morning shell and sea life hunting. We found a small octopus, star fish, sand dollars, and so much more. The bay is so very quiet in the morning--swimmers and early morning paddleboard/kayakers enjoy the peace as it slowing wakes up to families enjoying the beaches and quieter waters. We'd 100% stay here again.

Lucked our way into staying at this gem prior to leaving for our cruise. The neighborhood is very quiet, the house is beautiful and you can hear the ocean right outside the front door. It’s a super easy couple of steps to get to the beach. Property managers are highly communicative and welcoming. The house is beautifully maintained and has all the things you may need to enjoy your stay. This is a more residential area with grocery stores and activities within easy distance. Parking can be a bit tricky on the street since it fills up fast but wasn’t an issue as we ubered to most places and that was reasonably priced also. I’m only sad we weren’t here longer.

The property was located in the perfect location for my families vacation. We traveled with small children so being this close to the bay was ideal. However, at night when we needed to exhaust some of their energy we walked along the beach side. The property was well equipped with everything that we needed and even had amenities that we weren't expecting.

We had such a great time. The cottage was everything and more then we hoped for. The location was perfect for morning and evening beach walks and our grand daughter enjoyed kayaking on the bay. We would definitely book again.

This was the perfect place to bring our small family to celebrate our daughter's birthday and relax with some time on the beach. The neighbors in the area were lovely, welcoming and very friendly! Shawn was wonderful! She was a great communicator, very informative, prompt and proactive. The location of the property was fantastic. We had a wonderful time. We will definitely rent this property again!

Shawn was an excellent host. She greeted us when we arrived, got us established, ran up to the hardware store and bought the umbrella we wanted, buying two just to be sure, and checked in with us the next day to see how things were going. The house is equipped with everything and is in an excellent location on the ocean side of the peninsula with easy access to Alamitos Bay where we spent most of our time.

This is our 2nd time renting this wonderful beach house, and our 6th time renting from Shawn. All of her properties are elegant, comfortable, and in prime locations. She is always available if we need her (never really have, but she checks in and touches base frequently). This cottage is decorated exactly like I want a beach house to look, and the beds are SO comfortable. Our dog is welcome, and she also loves this location! I know we will be back- the holidays are so busy that I didn’t get to check out the paddle board and kayak, but it is on the perfect location when I have time. Thank you Shawn- see you again soon!
