Really Beautiful Stay
The house is great. The location is amazing. It all makes for a very special vacation. Get your groceries and you really never have to leave! Only one comment for feedback is that the patio could have been cleaned before we arrived. But didn't really matter in the end!

Amazing spot!
This property was so amazing. The views were gorgeous, just steps from the beach. We had a really relaxing stay and would absolutely go again given the opportunity. The only downside is that there isn’t much going on in the little town. But the drive to Santa Cruz or Monterey is not too bad!

Overall A Great Stay
This is our second time staying at this house because we really enjoy it! The layout and amenities are great for our extended family to come and enjoy the beach. With that said, and given the price of renting this property, there are a few suggestions I would give for feedback. 1. The BBQ didn’t work. My husband (who knows his way around a bbq) tried using it for dinners three times and the BBQ wouldn’t hold the temperature like it should. We had to finish cooking our meats inside on the stove. I would have that BBQ looked at. 2. Cleaning the cobwebs from the deck railing would be a nice touch. 3. The spa had a bunch of sand in it upon arrival. It made the spa feel a bit grungy and I didn’t want to use it because of that. 4. The soap dispensers in the bathrooms need to be cleaned or replaced. It was hard to get the soap dispensed because of soap buildup, I think. 5. I really think the house could benefit from putting retractable blinds on the outside second floor deck. The sun comes in so hard in the evening hours. If we could pull the shades down, we could enjoy things a lot more during that time of day. We do love that there are so many great beach chairs and umbrellas available for us to use. The beds are all very comfortable, and the outside shower is perfect. The pool table provides for a lot of added fun at the house. It’s so close to the beach access which is wonderful. A beautiful property indeed!

Great get-away
Beautiful home with various patios - close to the beach - a delight to stay in. The home has amble towels, pillows,, sheets, beach toys and surfboards. We loved the well stocked kitchen and the updated bathroom and sinks. The agent is quick to respond to all questions. Fabulous.

Beautiful vacation home
This was our 2nd year staying at this house. It’s the perfect get away for our group of 12 moms. Comfortable beds, plenty of supplies and gorgeous view. We did have a plumbing issue this time but the owners were very responsive and got someone out quickly.

Labor Day Weekend Getaway
We had a fantastic family weekend at this house. It worked great for our family, was clean, well appointed, and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus and very well maintained. We enjoyed the pool table and the covered deck immensely.
