My husband, 3 children (11, 9 and 2) and I spent 9 days at this property in June. It was absolutely breathtaking. There is no way to describe the space that will fully give it justice. When we opened the door to the condo the first time we could not believe how spacious and beautiful it was. There are 2 oversized master bedrooms on each end of the condo. Each had a king sized bed and a fold out couch. Both include a huge master closet, and a large bathroom with shower and jet tub. The smaller room had 2 full sized beds and a bathroom with a shower across the hall. There was a full sized laudry room stocked with beach and bath towels, detergent, and other necessities. The living area was to die for. The large open space that overlooked the ocean could not be replicated. It was perfect for us to cook, watch tv (on the very rare occasion), and spend time together. The balcony is way larger than the pictures look. It stretches the length of the condo and is exceptionally wide. The home had so many necessities i can't even list them. I will try: Pack n play, pool toys, life jackets, beach necessities, coolers, kitchen seasonings, all kitchen tools and pans, extra bedding...the list goes on. I have stayed at many VRBO's but this one was the most fully stocked. The pool and grounds were perfectly maintained with very little traffic. Any time we were at the pool there was no more than one other family or couple there. It is in a great location in San Jose. At the end of the hotel "strip" but in perfect walking distance. We drove to the grocery store but you could easily walk. It is just a couple blocks away. One issue we had with the location of the condo is that it is right next to a public access. Locals tended to hang out near the beach entrance in the evening and play loud music. It only bothered us one night because it got too loud and late. We spent time in downtown San Jose. The resurants are amazing and the shopping was fun. We also hit up quite a few really great local beaches. I read a lot that there wasn't any beaches to swim at but we easily found 3 right near our condo. While you are there take the time to go to Flora Farms, expecially on a Tuesday. You will need to make reservations and it is pricy but completely beautiful. Even if you don't eat at the resturant take time just to walk the grounds. We absolutely expect to come back.

As other reviewers have said, this place is amazing! It is better than the pictures. It is a quality condo in an excellent location. The complex's grounds were kept perfect. The staff at the complex were polite, courteous, and attentive. The view is amazing. We watched whales breaching on 2 days and could see them from the lanai on most days. The location is very good. We walked to the well-stocked grocery store at least once a day. The beach is nice right out front. Although the red flags were flying every day (a resident said in the 5 years they've lived there, it's always been red), the beach was calm with low shore breaks about half the time. It wasn't calm enough to paddle board (for us novices) at that beach until the last day. It's a large beach so plenty of room. Not really a swimming beach, but we drove to two other public beaches (Chileno and Santa Maria) that both had pretty good snorkeling, nice amenities, and lifeguards. The place is pretty big and absorbed our group of 4 adults and 4 kids (aged 6-8) well. The only real negative was that we had to leave at the end of the week. But we are all planning on a return trip. It was truly amazing!

We stayed as a family of four with a 9 year old and a 16 month old. The condo could not have been in a better location with the grocery store only a 5-10 minute walk away. We have never stayed in a VRBO that was this well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and also some beach toys for the kids. The condo was so much bigger than the photos even show and was in excellent condition, clean, and had the most amazing views. The amenities on site were awesome to keep the kids busy and we had the pools to ourselves almost the whole time. The swim beaches were not a very far drive and there was also a little kids park 5 minutes walking distance from us. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet stay. Perfect for a couple or for families. The host was also excellent in communication and getting back to us right away. Thanks for the lovely stay.
