Really great house, gorgeous views of the ocean, and quiet, safe neighborhood. The long drive in took some getting used to but we really appreciate how off the beaten path it was. Communication with the host was very easy and prompt. Thanks for a memorable vacation!

Unbeatable coastal views
This home offers stunning ocean cliff views and dramatic sunrises that far exceed what the photos capture. Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, it’s an ideal spot for relaxation and soaking in the natural beauty. While the house itself is older and dated as you can see in the pictures, the breathtaking surroundings truly make it special.The pool was sparkling clean and a huge hit with our kids, especially with all the pool toys provided. There is not a shallow section for littles, maybe 4.5 to 5 ft deep, but ours were all good swimmers so not an issue for us. Communication was mixed—initial contact was slow and couldn’t answer questions about amenities, but the local contact was quick to respond and helpful. A few things to note:- The grill was a nice surprise, though the propane tank was empty and we were expected to fill it. In past stays that included a grill, it has always been ready for use.- There weren’t enough beach towels for our group, and essentials like a cooler and blender were missing which are commonly included items at a location with a pool and beaches nearby.- Grocery stores and restaurants are roughly a 30-minute drive, so plan ahead if proximity is important.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return—the views alone make this home unforgettable! Thank you, John, for your quick responses!

Lovely location; huge home
This is a lovely home that could use some refreshing. The beds were comfy, the neighborhood is beautiful and very quiet, and there is a lot of parking (we only had one car, but if you had a bigger group, there's room for more). The views out back are stunning. There are plenty of towels for showers and pool. We had an issue with the wifi and the shower in the main BR (this was our lack of understanding of how it works) and we had a resolution from the manager within an hour. The mini-splits kept the home comfortably cool. We would stay again in this property. Thanks to the owners for making it available on the rental market!

Wonderful location!
This house was just what we needed for our stay. We did a lot of day trips, so it was nice to have a space we could come back to and decompress or rest up for the next adventure.
