This house was very well thought through for guests and the hosts were super easy to communicate with. My mom is super picky and she kept commenting, "This house is a wow!" We had issues with the pool heater, but they sent someone out to replace it immediately. I left somwthing behind and they had it at UPS for me the same day. 10/10

Enjoyed our stay here. The home is beautiful and larger than the pictures appear. The location is great and an easy walk or bike ride to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. We particularly enjoyed the bicycles which included a kid trailer.

Great house in a great location!

This house was perfect for our crew of 4 adults, 3 kids, and one dog. Beach and great little commercial district are an easy 10 minute walk away, which is entirely feasible even with lots of beach gear because of the wagon in the garage. We loved this house and would highly recommend it.

Wonderful property, issue with upstairs air-conditioning got fixed right away. Really liked this location in Santa Rosa and property has pretty good proximity to the beach - about 10 minutes to walk it. The bikes were in good shape and a wonderful addition to the trip! There are lots of shops and restaurants close by as others have said. Overall, we had a great week and really enjoyed the property - will consider staying again.

The house was a great size and plenty of room and very clean. Pool is very small and not much room for more than 3-4 kids. The beach entry for the property was a public beach which can be very crowded at times.

We had a great stay! The place was clean, grocery store, restaurants and beaches were close. We rented a golf cart for the beach- we liked the one a little East on 98 by Goatfeathers instead of the closest access. The pool was perfect for our little family. Make sure to get extra paper towels, toilet paper and beach chairs! 10/10 would stay again!
