Mesa Bliss - Tropical Oceanside Guest House on the Mesa

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay here. Its location is ideal. Quiet neighborhood and a view of the ocean as you are standing in the walkway to the place. Very private too! The bed was comfortable and we were able to cook a few meals too. We really appreciated the oil removal kit as you will undoubtedly get oil on your feet walking on the beach. We would definitely stay here again!"

"This is a very nice house! It is very well stocked with anything you need. The yard is large and well maintained. It is a few steps away from the stairs that lead down to the beach. The beach is beautiful and wasn’t very crowded even though it was a holiday. The hot tub is a nice amenity. We would definitely stay here again."

Las Brisas | Ocean Breezes on the Mesa!

10/10 Excellent
"This is a fantastic rental. Plenty of supplies and a wonderful kitchen. The fridge does automatically lock for an extended period of time (longer than the description online for that model says it should), which became challenging at times when preparing meals. Rooms very comfortable, yard was great. Recommend to have the landline disconnected. It would ring randomly at all times of day and night, we had to unplug it. The speaker in the kitchen randomly connected to people’s devices without permission or would randomly speak about things we did not ask it to do. Also had to unplug it during our stay. Love the proximity to the beach and overall very comfortable for our entire group!"

10/10 Excellent
"We just stayed here with a group of 10 and honestly nobody wanted to leave. The house was absolutely immaculate and spotless from top to bottom. Every detail of the home was beautifully designed inside and out, and the pictures truly do not do it justice.The kitchen was perfect for cooking and had every utensil and appliance you could possibly need. The pool was amazing, the movie room was incredible, and the entire property was extremely well maintained. You can tell the owners really care about the experience.The host was also incredibly accommodating and allowed us an early check in, which made everything so much easier for our group. The area was peaceful, beautiful, and everything about the stay was well documented and easy to navigate.Our whole family completely fell in love with this place and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Perfect home for a large family or group getaway."
