Excellent location. Charming cottage with all the necessities. Property needs updating/ deferred maintenance. Rotting deck, splinters, etc. bathrooms are tired. Everything works and it was certainly adequate for a family vacation. Owner could not be more pleasant.

We had a great relaxing stay. We had plans to go explore San Diego but the rental was so lovely that we canceled a few things to spend extra time enjoying the ocean from the large deck. We walked to the ocean on a few different days. It was an easy and nice walk. Our teenager loved the loft bed. It was quiet, clean, and nice. We would definitely stay again!

The house was absolutely perfect for our weekend away. The location was a short 15 min walk to the beach with incredible views from every front window. Lynn is an absolute doll to work with, grateful for our time in this home.

This property was fantastic! Perfect for my family and our dog Rosco. We all slept amazing and one day didn’t even leave the property - just opened the front door and enjoyed the gorgeous ocean air. The property managers are incredibly responsive and accommodating. We were visiting for a soccer camp for my son. If he goes back next year there is no question that we will stay here again if it is available!
