It was a very satisfying experience. Interactions with the host was very professional, everything was easy to find - keys and wi-fi were shared early. The location is fantastic with ocean view balcony with great sunset views.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Rio Del Mar Beach.
The house was great, clean, comfortable for 4 adults,
equipped with everything you would need. And just a very short walk to the beach, with great ocean views from the deck. Had some beautiful sunsets.
Had fun exploring the area: farmers market, Nisene Mark Park, Capitola, and many beach walks.
We hope to return sometime soon!

Comfortable linens and beds.

Overall this property is fantastic! Great location, with many amenities and an ocean view. I stayed here with my sister, my 84-year-old mother and her 83-year-old girlfriend. It was a good thing that they are both short petite women as the bed in one of the bedrooms is up against the wall and has an ornate wood frame on three of the sides, similar to a toddler bed making it impossible for a tall person to sleep in. Unfortunately, these older ladies had to get up frequently throughout the night and my mom had to crawl over her friend to get out of bed. I would stay here again if the bed was changed, making it truly possible for four adults (regardless of height) to stay.

We didn't spend much time at this house, since we were joining family nearby for holiday activities throughout most of our time there. But I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and interesting decor in this home, full of interesting fun-to-look-at and artistic things. We had one problem, in that we couldn't find the thermostat the night we arrived, and the property manager wasn't able to help us until we discovered it ourselves in the light of the following morning. (We thought the thermostat in the bedroom just wasn't working, not realizing that there was a working thermostat in the darkened hall between the rooms). So it might be good to describe this more clearly! But the beds were very comfortable, and we were generally very pleased to be in this home once we got the heat to work!

Excellent
This is a great house and location. Large bedrooms, each with their own full bath. The entire house was spotless. The provisions are very thoughtful and generous -- plenty of towels, kitchen ware for every need, etc. A real gem.

Friends long weekend at the beach
The house was well-maintained and comfortable. Great property management, there was an appliance issue and the management phoned us prior to arrival to notify and already had repair scheduled. Kitchen had plenty of dishes and glasses. Appliances all nice and modern. Safeway is very close for a grocery run. We walked down to the beach easily.
I recommend this property and would not hesitate to reserve it again. I am grateful we had the opportunity to experience it.
Suggestion to owner: The front of house bedroom is really large and the bed is up against wall so it's awkward to get in and out if two are using the bed. Reconfigure the furniture layout in that space and consider adding a second smaller bed in there.

The property was nicely located across from the beach. There was some traffic noise from the street, but all in all it was in a great location. Had everything you needed for a pleasant stay.

Beautiful location
The location of the property was very beautiful!! Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like there was attention to detail as far as cleaning goes. There was a stain on our blanket and a couple of spider webs around the home. Overall, we really enjoyed the home and our stay.

Bali by the Beach
Truly a lovely comfortable home with all the amenities provided. The only downfall was the traffic noise outside. The school buses going up the hill were incredibly loud as were the speeding cars.

Awesome Beach House!
Property was awesome! Kitchen was fully stocked, views were incredible, access to the beach/restaurants was just a few steps away, lots of parking! You can tell the owners spent quite some time thinking about the decor of the place. Looking forward to coming back!

Great location to the beach and a few local restaurants.
Great location to the beach and a few local restaurants. This is a quiet area without a lot of commercialism in he area. Just a fantastic location and nice, unique house. We traveled from PA to CA for vacation. We already decided, we need to go back.

Great location steps to Rio Del Mar Beach
Just down the hill can enjoy a beautiful beach and a small market, Cafe Rio to open soon and pizza place. Beautiful views from the home. Clean and comfortable - a Bali experience in decor/art.

Relaxing Coastal Getaway
My partner and I spent a relaxing long weekend at Joan's beach retreat. The sunset and ocean view from the deck and LR was the draw, but the natural light, decor, furnishings, good communication, and well stocked house, exceeded our expectations. It's the 3rd house up the hill so beach proximity is a plus (compared to the condos across the street and up the hill). The deck is above the street so privacy is maintained. At night there are hardly any cars so the ocean is quite present in sound and smell. The house is perfectly perched on the hill so, with the views and Balinese decor, it reminded us of us of Uluwatu on the ocean side and Ubud on the mountain side. Overall a great place to unwind in comfort.

Will come back!
We loved the house, the decor and the most beautiful views of the ocean and the area. The home was very clean and well kept. The kitchen is stocked with all of the necessities, as well as the restrooms. The house has everything you need to feel at home. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach, several food places that we liked.
Joan was very easy to communicate with, responded to messages very fast. She also made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our short vacation, including the most delicious cookies at check in. Thank you again.

Great Getaway
So glad we found Bali by the Beach. It's the getaway we needed after the prolonged lockdown and all the stress! Couldn't ask for a more gracious and attentive host than Joan. A lot of TLC has gone into the property--from the unique decor to the treats that greeted us upon arrival to all the amenities we could possibly need. The property is very close to the beach. To hear the waves crashing early in the morning is priceless. The sunset view from the house is stunning. Short drive to Santa Cruz and Capitola. One of the bedrooms faces the street, but there's not much traffic. If you're a light sleeper, just bring earplugs. Overall, we highly recommend this place!

Excellent hostess!
Pros: exceedingly kind hostess, every amenity one needs, PLUS fresh fruit, milk, coffee, ice cream, butter, etc.etc. ready upon arrival. Joan offered us early check-in too which was so kind and helpful. The bathrooms were well stocked, lovely linens and plenty of good fluffy towels. Great view of ocean and sunsets. Close access to miles of fine beaches. Nearby restaurants and convenience stores. Kitchen was very well-equipped.
Cons: house is on busy Rio Del Mar with pretty constant road noise. Thee is a huge transformer on a telephone pole right outside the upstairs patio and condos block the view across the road.
Overall, pros outweigh the cons! Thank you Joan for your thoughtful touches.

Good find
Great location and accommodations were spacious and well appointed. Generally, I was impressed with the attention to detail. One small nit; paper products were lacking. No Kleenexes or napkins and very few paper towels. Given the attention to everything else, I suspect this was an oversight.

Wonderful Stay!
My family and I were extremely happy with our choice to stay at Bali by the Beach. We enjoyed 3 days of beautiful views and relaxation. The home was pristine, very clean and well kept. The kitchen is stocked with all of the necessities, as well as the restrooms. The house has everything you need to feel right at home. We also liked that the bedrooms were downstairs and the gathering rooms were upstairs, allowing for little disruption to those who may go to bed early. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach, several food places and a cute coffee shop. We drove only once to visit Marianne’s ice cream, only 1 mile away.
Joan was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We arrived to the most delicious cookies and fresh plums. Hospitality at its finest!
We are already talking about our next trip here and we can’t wait.
