  This property met and exceeded our expectations. The location was great and the photos were completely accurate. It is the perfect house for all ages. The owner was a real pleasure to work with and provided us with very useful information for our stay. The dolphins even put on quite a show while we were there. We all had a wonderful time!!

  Gabriela and her family were the most amazing hosts. Our friends have rented many homes over the years, and this one was the most comfortable of them all! The location was amazing, on the beach, close to stores, and walking distance to the boardwalk. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could want or need. We had wonderful fire-lit. friend-filled weekend.

  We were two adults and two preschoolers and this house was amazing. Location on the beach is perfect. Walking distance to restaurants and stores was convenient. The house itself is really well taken care of and very clean. Tons of space. We used only two bedrooms. The kids loved it - one room had bunk beds, a train table and tons of toys. The outdoor shower was great. Especially liked the one for feet which was just the right level for the little ones. Gabriella was fantastic in helping to book the last minute rental and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this property!

  We first saw Vistamar a year ago when we were staying at a nearby house that was nice enough, but we kept thinking how nice Vistamar looked and when we got home we were please to find it on VRBO and quickly booked it. If possible, it exceeded our expectations. It fit our extended family group easily, and would have fit up to 4 adult couples and kids pretty easily. The pictures and description are accurate and the property is lovingly maintained. Rather then recommending it to friends and relatives, I'd rather keep it a secret and book it again myself. It really was that nice.

  I've been viewing VRBO for 2 years admiring the houses. I looked at Vistamar many times in my search. It's hard to find a huge home so it won. Gabriela was very accommodating on renting for a few days vs. 7. It was absolutely incredible! The house is perfect, inside and out! I grew up in San Jose, moved 16 years ago. I was at the beach from a young age to every visit I make to CA in August. To my surprise, the house sits on a path that I and many friends, as teens, took for years heading to the beach. I didn't notice it online, just when I arrived and it put a big smile on my face. I had kids and grandkids, all the rooms were taken but yet so much space for us all. And the loft, wow, you can fit another family up there! The views are spectacular, sitting on the deck was awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed that and sat there frequently. Of course the beach is great, the boardwalk a quick walk along with the wharf. The pictures are pretty much right on BUT honestly, it feels larger in person. And there are wetsuits and more that the kids and grandkids enjoyed as the water pretty cold as we know. We lucked out and had warm weather, only one day was overcast but it wasn't cold. It's the perfect house for the beach and a large family. We all enjoyed it and loved it, only wish we could have rented it a full week vs. 4 days. The kitchen has everything you need! The bunkroom.....the game room was fun too and the swing...... I mean I can go on and on, just rent the place, I promise you won't be disappointed! I looked at the one across the street, but I'd rather pay the extra for the Vistamar! It's well worth being right there on the beach side. Gabriela is very easy to work with and very nice! I met Karen who gave me a tour, she was great too! Leave the windows open and enjoy the views and the waves crashing. Made us all wish we were back living in California! (all bedrooms have view but one...regardless, it's a vacation you won't forget) I hope I am able to do this again someday. ENJOY!

  We really enjoyed our holiday at Vistamar- if felt like a home, not a rental. The furnishings, toys, games, DVDs, CDs, decorations, everything about it - we felt like we were staying at a friend's lovely home for our Mom's 75th birthday- it did not feel like a rental at all. The owner was very accommodating as well. The pictures just do not do this place justice, it has so much character and it's plenty big. Lots of space around the property as well and 2 spaces in the garage was a real help- the parking around the place is like gold dust. We hope we get a chance to stay here again.

  My family and friends just returned from one of the most amazing weekends ever! The weather could not have been worse yet we had a great time. We had a bunch of kids and this house was just perfect. There are costumes, toys, kids DVD's (even a pack and play and a hair chair) in the house. I expected the view to be a bit exaggerated in the pictures and it is actually better than the pictures lead you to believe. The rooms are huge and the playroom (basement) is most sound insulated and fun for ping pong, pool and fooseball. Also, we walked to a pizza place, a coffee shop and a breakfast spot What a place - I can't recommend it enough!

  We celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary at Vistamar with siblings and grandchildren and it was absolutely perfect. Without ever needing to get in a car, we were able to enjoy the beach, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, a whale watching tour from the harbor, and morning trips to the cafe for pastries and coffee. The kids especially loved the bonfires on the beach, the firepole in the kids' room, and the tree swing by the patio. The house is comfortable and well appointed with a great kitchen and patio for grilling, and lots of room to spread out. The views are sublime. The location is unbeatable. The beach is beautiful. The owner was very responsive to all my requests. I cannot not emphasize enough how wonderful Vistamar is. I look forward to the day I can rent this house again.

  This is a great house for families. The kids bedroom (+ loft) was great. The house is really beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect and had room for many to join in cooking. The views of the beach were amazing. The location can't be beat - we walked to the boardwalk (about 8 min away) and down the street are a number of restaurants. It was so nice to have the beach just outside of the house. We plan to come here again!

  I stayed here with my extended family during my sister-in-law's wedding and it was ideal. The house is stunningly beautiful without being fussy - the most striking ocean views of any where I have ever stayed! It easily accommodates a crowd. And it's a fun, happy house with lots of activities - rope swing, hot tub, pool table, nice kitchen, bikes. It was a dream! We can't wait to find a time to go back.
