Great family beach vacation!

Spectacular view of the ocean from this fantastic beach house. We had a few issues but they were dealt with promptly and were resolved. We highly recommend staying at this house!

The property is in a great location right on the coastal bluffs with stunning views north and south. Wonderful sound of ocean waves crashing! The house was clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and pillows. A tad rundown due to proximity to the ocean. And only odd thing is that the property is a duplex and shares a wall with an adjoining five or six bedroom rental, which has access to the larger patio shown in the photos for this unit.

Great property location, walking distance to everything. View of the ocean is perfect. The master bathroom shower door is broken. There are coffee machines but no coffee pods or coffee grounds. It was a nice property and enjoyed our time there.

Stunning views & amazing location

Loved our stay at this little home on Neptune. Photos definitely are not indicative of the state of the home though - the place is more run down than it seems and the photos are definitely taken on wide angle, especially on the room with the bunk bed. The master shower is horrendous, we didn't even use it once, and the fixtures are old/unstable. I wouldn't recommend this place for young kids (was fine for crawling baby but lots of rusty metal in bed frame, chair bolts, etc). On the POSITIVE side, the views make up for anything the home lacks. The neighborhood is awesome for lots of walks and nearby coffee/food. The management team was great to communicate with (over text) and very helpful when we needed some adjustments to our reservation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted a beachhouse that accommodated 6 adults comfortably and the place was more than what we had expected ... the house and the location were truly outstanding. Plenty of space, large bedrooms and completely equipped for 6-8 adults ... and the views from the beachhouse made our 2 days special.

Great location

The property was clean, in a great location, unbelievable view and plenty of room. The down side, the shower in the master suite is tiny (3’x3’) and basically unable. The showers in the other two bathrooms are really difficult to control the shower water temperature. One bedroom has small bunk beds and not a queen as shown in pictures. Overall, We would definitely would stay here again.

Overall this is a good place to take your family. The location is amazing and the views are incredible. BEWARE, the primary suite bathroom is just not acceptable. Don't plan on taking a shower in the shower, it is tiny and I have been in larger showers in RV's. However, the area is vibrant and you can walk to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping etc. Overall the place just needs a little updating.
