My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with our kids and grandkids at this property which had enough room for us, a spectacular view and was conveniently located near many local attractions. (The cleaning fee seemed a little high given that we tried to leave the house as clean as it was when we arrived, but maybe the charge is typical.) We would definitely recommend to others!

Communication with the owner was great. She responds quickly. However, the cleaning fee was a bit much. Some of the sheets have an odor where we had to wash it before using it.

Words really can’t describe how great this location is. Located right in front of the ocean, and a block from Sea Cliff Beach.
This home accommodated my families Thanksgiving celebration.
The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook. Thank you to Mother Nature, the weather was absolutely beautiful, which just made this trip over the top.
Thank you Maureen for opening up your family home to us. We will never forget this Thanksgiving.

This property was so cute! It was fully stocked with everything you would possibly need! Beautiful balcony view of the ocean. We watched a whale for hours off the balcony. The photos are just as it looks.

The view from the second floor deck is spectacular. The house was well stocked and cozy. Very conveniently located to stores and local eateries. Really enjoyed the experience and the location can't beat.

This is my 6th stay at this lovely and well maintained home. Fabulous view from living room and deck are so enticing you never have to dip your toes in the sand. Sleeping accommodations are perfect for my family. My grandchildren refer to it as their beach house and ask all year long when we get to return.

Beautiful home on Seacliff Dr. Well stocked with cooking items. Very close to grocery shopping.
Listing is a bit deceiving as the beach is quite a distance from the home. You'll either need to drive 10 minutes to Seacliff Beach State Park and pay $10 to park or walk down and back up 160 steps. The steps are about a 5 minute walk from the house.
Owner lives in the attached apartment which is directly below the upper deck and some of the noise on the deck bothered her. She keeps her car in the garage behind the house and received a text early one morning that she would need to get her car out by 9:30. Since we were told we could park in the driveway I had to go move a car so she could get her car out. Fortunately we were there. Not sure what she would have done if we weren't.
The umbrella for the upper deck was trashed and I sent her a picture right away. At that time I did not realize she was living there. Her response was "yikes". For the price we paid I would have thought she could have gone out and purchased another one for us but that didn't happen. It was difficult in the warm afternoons to spend time on the deck.
There are quite a few throw rugs in the house which have no non slip on them and the floors are tile. Would recommend no rugs or non skid rugs as I almost slipped a couple of times. I put them all up so that no one got hurt.
You are asked to count all dishes and silverware to make sure there are 12 of each. Seems pretty petty.

We stayed at Maureen’s place with 6 adults and 3 kids and the space was great. You cannot beat the view, the balcony is amazing. Plenty of kitchen utensils, all around great stay.

The property was nice but there was several nights where people that parked out front woke us up. Like last night for instance. Two women screaming bloody murder for no reason at 2 am.
However this isn’t a fault of the place to stay. The rest of the things were great. I would suggest giving more towels for a large group but otherwise it was great. It was really nice having extra use of beach items too! Kids loved it!

This property was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. We loved the short 10-15 minute walk to the beach, the 5 minute drive to Marianne’s ice cream shop and the view from the deck. The bedrooms were large, the back fenced in patio was perfect and the kitchen was well equipped for us to cook meals. The best part of this vacation house was the water views, the sounds of the waves at night and being able to see the stars. We would recommend this house to everyone and would love to come back next summer.

Great Experience
This lovely beach house is wonderful. The set-up was perfect for our group of 6. It is nicely appointed while being cozy. You can feel the pride the owner has. The beds are comfortable, and the towels are very good quality. The kitchen has everything you need, and the quality of the dishes and utensils is top notch. We're hoping to go back next year!

Nostalgic home with an awesome view and location!
Home reminds me of visiting a favorite Aunt. It had a warmth about it. You could watch whales out the front window or from the upstairs deck. Don't need a car. Walk 6 -7 minutes to beach below in the State Park or to a few restaurants and amazing ice cream shop. Well stocked!

Idyllic
Our family of six loved it! It was perfect for hosting small family dinners. We really enjoying unwinding here after long days of visiting with family and taking in the region's activities.
Positives:
- Super-responsive property manager
- Well-stocked kitchen with all the utensils and thingamabobs you'd want/need, plus spices
- Location fantastic - close to the highway, close to beach, close restaurants, close to groceries
- Awesome views.
Negatives:
- Upstairs, westernmost bedroom really heats up in the afternoon (we were there in April). Be prepared to mitigate.
- If your wife is the princess & the pea type, the beds are a tad firm.

Amazing Beach House!
This beach house was PERFECT! Perfect location and amazing ocean views from the front window and the balcony! The house was very well-equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a great stay with our family including teens and toddler. The charming coastal home was very clean, cozy and relaxing. Walking distance to delicious restaurants and gorgeous state beaches. We will definitely be staying here again in future! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely beach house with us!

This property was perfect for our family holiday celebration. The view was stunning! We loved walking on the beach and through the neighborhoods. The kitchen is well stocked and the living area is very comfortable. It’s also very nice to have so much parking and a carport with a gated fence.

Fabulous!
Amazing well maintained beach house that slept 8 adults very comfortably. Location and views are wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you would need including many spices. Quality dishwear, glasses, small and large appliances. Beds were very comfy with top notch linens. Easy walking distance to small store, great Mexican restaurant, ice cream shop and beach access. There is a Safeway very close. Put this on your must stay list😊

Beautiful house - Perfect Location
My family had a great time on our vacation. We spent most of our time at the house. The deck was a perfect place to hang out to get some sun and play games. The side yard was perfect for cornhole. Can’t beat the incredible ocean view. Maureen was easy to contact and easy to work with.

What’s that snell ? StillG
Between the extra fishy Oder, we think from that ship that is nearby. And the people that pull up to smoke marijuana all day and all night across the street. I guess the view is appealing for everyone!!
Our family still had a great time.

Family Fun....
Overall this property was great....all you need is a toothbrush and some groceries, but it was much smaller than it appeared in the pictures and 9 people plus an infant was too much. The deck was spectacular and the location was excellent. I would stay here again, just with less people
