Not happy with their responsiveness

They’ve completely missed the mark and responsiveness. They have not responded to text, call, voicemail or email on a follow up from a stay. Completely ignored me. Find an alternative

We had a great stay at this house. Not everyone stayed at the house but those of us that did enjoyed it. Do bring ear plugs if you’re a lite sleeper because the is a fair amount of street noise. We did a lot of cooking & dinning while there and the kitchen was extremely well stocked with all of our needs. Great location & enjoyed seeing the ocean from the living room.

Lovely property, closer to the beach than I thought it would be. Lovely view of twin Lakes Beach from the living room. Also had a beautiful courtyard where our family gathered and played games. House was very clean and was nicely provisioned. Great kitchen with everything you would need and abundant resources like salt,pepper and coffee. We would like to stay here again. We had 6 adults and 2 littles. Perfect.

Twin Lakes

We had a wonderful stay at the Twin Lakes Beach House. The house was spacious, dog friendly and well furnished. It was not only just steps from the beach but was also in easy walking distance to a number of nice restaurants, coffee shops, etc. The garage included bikes, beach games and toys; so there was plenty to keep us occupied. There was a problem with the hot tub, but we were given plenty of notice about the situation before our arrival date and were provided the option of a discounted rate to compensate for the lack of the hot tub or another rental that had a hot tub. We elected to stay and they threw in a gift certificate for a restaurant at the harbor, which we thought was more than fair.

Wonderful home close to the beach

Thank you so much to the owners of this beautiful home! The amazing thing is it didn't feel like a rental but like our own home. Comfortable and close to the beach. Our family has stayed at many rentals over the past 20 years and we all thought this was the best!

Very roomy and warm.

We like relaxing in the home when we take vacations. It was the best home we have stayed in ever. It was very spacious and comfortable. In addition, the private courtyard was an added bonus. The kids could be outside without us worrying about them. We are definitely returning here next summer. thanks Miguel

Perfect for us

This home is spectacular, beautifully maintained well-stocked kitchen and Three lovely bedrooms and bathrooms, the outside courtyard is also fabulous. Special bonus for us it is only two doors for our daughters house on the same street. It's such a perfect fit for us will do it again next Thanksgiving.

This house is in a great location!

The house has a a great open floor plan! With a beautiful master bedroom, hot tub on the upper deck with great ocean views. Walk to the Harbor, the beach, restaurants and more. We stayed here for the weekend with a family of five and it was perfect. Another plus was pets were allowed and the hard scaped yard was great for them to wander around in. I highly recommend this house
