Stayed only one night, but was so beautiful. Driving 1200 miles from 100 degree weather to here was very much worth it. So great!

We had a wonderful visit! This place exceeded our expectations! All the comforts of home -- laundry, great kitcen, comfortable beds! We saw lots of whales and a few sea lions right from the condo. The weather was great! Sunny and cool with very little rain. We celebrated my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. Something we'll never forget. Thanks for the superb accommodations. Hope to come back some day!

We loved the condo, very comfortable. The view is breathtaking, and we saw whales! A fan in the sitting room would have been most welcome, due to the glorious weather we have had. We didn't use the hot tub but will on our next visit.

You have a wonderful place. I wish I could have stayed longer -- a weekend is just not enough! Our kids had a great time, and we were able to relax most of the time!

We arrived here and fell in love with every sight. We went out to eat and shopped. We all enjoed the whale watching -- it was a blast! We saw three otters that hung around Saturday and a storm came in as we sat in the hot tub and watched the huge waves roll in. Today there were a whole bunch of cute otters swimming around us. Well, thank you for the beautiful surroundings.
