We were pleased, what we saw in the listing is what we got. The home is well designed, built, equipped and maintained. The main & guest house layout worked for our group of 8 adults & 4 children under 4, with dining for all in the main house. Great internet. It’s a full time rental - comfortable furniture & beds, all closets and drawers clear for renters, nice linens & towels, good consumables, professional cleaning, and plenty of trash & recycling capacity. The kitchens included all types of cooking gear needed for a week of meals and more glasses, cups, plates, bowls, cutlery and various serving pieces than we used in a day. Bedrooms were spacious with room for pack-n-plays, luggage, etc. Good instructions received in advance and at the property provided all we needed, and the owner responded reasonably promptly to our few inquiries. We didn’t know the location prior to arrival. We liked being near downtown but far enough away to avoid the crowds & traffic. This was one of the nicer homes on a quiet street with a mix of vacation homes and full-time residents/rentals including two 4-unit apartments. We felt safe during our stay. We didn't realize homes were on cliffs above the large beach; stairs a short walk away provided access. H101 freeway noise is a detraction at quiet times. If you're a light sleeper bring a white noise machine. With August weather (cool am/pm & warm afternoons) we were fine with no AC. For kids, a wonderful park nearby. Overall, a pleasant stay.

We had such a wonderful stay! My cousins and I gather on a semi-regular basis for “Cousinpalooza,” which also includes the cousins’ children. This was simply the perfect space for all of us. There were plenty of very comfortable bedrooms, and I loved the main floor kitchen and living room, which was one long, uninterrupted space, making it great for socializing. We also had lots of fun with the games (Friends trivia and 90s trivia). Although there is no real yard, the kids all loved running around outside on the long driveway playing some kind of made up game. We did frequently use the space in the front of the house, which is larger and more comfortable than it looks in the pictures. There were a few small things that needed repair, but the emergency maintenance team (for a leaking fridge) was very fast to respond. I also gave feedback on what was broken so that they would have the opportunity to fix those things for future guests (they were all minor), and Laurie was very responsive to them. Although it’s closer to the freeway, we were not bothered at all by the noise. Overall, the location is great with easy access to local beaches (we went to Shell Beach, about a 10 to 15 minute drive away). Note, I am disabled and use a walker, and being on the first floor was extremely comfortable and accessible to me. We would definitely stay here again! Laurie was also very accommodating to our group and I very much appreciate her flexibility.

Really enjoyed our beach stay at this property. It was a great location, able to walk to the beach in a few minutes and also the pier is super close. The house is very spacious, but had a couple small issues. Overall great trip and was family friendly.

This was a great property, with very easy access to beach. Rainy weather was the only downside to the whole vacation but we made the best of it and this property helped. Lots of space and very comfortable beds.

This house was so perfect for our family vacation. The front house is better than the pictures and description. We used the back house only for sleeping and it was very comfortable and clean. In the front main house we used the kitchen for almost every meal. It is well stocked and everything worked well. The living area is open and roomy. The beds are comfortable. There were plenty of towels and linens and blankets. We did not use any of the beach gear in the garage so I don't know anything about that. The road noise is a bit loud but we were in the bedroom closest to the highway and opened our window at night, so we expected that. The property was very clean and comfortable. We hope to stay here again.

We had an absolutely fantastic time in the house. There were 10 of us, and still had extra beds. Everything was perfectly set up and very clean! All the rooms were spacious. The location by the beach was awesome. Just a note to the owner: It took us a while to figure out the thermostat was on the 2nd floor. Just mention this in your email to future renters. Would highly recommend this place to future tenants!

The spacious house is perfect for a girls getaway. There were 5 ladies and we had our room. So close to restaurants and the pier. The host is super nice and responding within 15 minutes Thank you for a great weekend!

Every year we take our oldest grandchildren on vacation trip! This year at this location was the best they all want to come back to this location every year! Our stay here was just the best!
