Check in was easy. House was very clean. Fully appointed with everything we needed. The location was fantastic. We really enjoyed sitting on the front patio, taking in the ocean air and view and watching the world go by. I slept in the master and the bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again!

Lovely Vacation House to Celebrate 40th Bday

The house is beautiful and comfortable, but it's the location that took my breath away. The house overlooks the ocean and every morning when I awakened and lifted the shades to see that view of the sea and sky I just basked in the beauty for a moment or three. My best friend and I stayed here with our husbands and kids for a birthday weekend and the location was just right for walks along the coast, tidepooling, and day trips to the marine center, botanical gardens, and redwoods. It would be lovely, peaceful and calming to stay in with just adults but it accommodated four children ages 3 to 11 just fine as well. I couldn't recommend it more.

Amazing stay!

This place was a dream! The views and location were terrific. We went down to the tidal pools, watched sunsets, and walked along the popular walking path in front of the house. We also walked to coffee shops and the brewery down Swift St. The home was clean and comfortable. Everything went totally smoothly and I would revisit in a heartbeat!

Awesome property, awesome experience, awesome stay! Only nit pik would be the road noise at that corner, and tons of foot traffic at times. A wish list item would be a balcony facing the ocean.
