As former VRBO/Home Away owners we come to expect the best that a property has to offer. In this case, Gayle and Tom's Gem in the Redwoods has hit a home run out of the ballpark. What can we say! The home is well appointed and appears to have been totally remodeled. Since we cook in on a regular basis the kitchen was well stocked, probably one of the better ones of all the properties we have rented. The hot tub was used on a daily basis (and I might add at the proper temperature) after a long walk on the PRIVATE Irish Beach. Watching the stars through the ceiling windows was a nice treat that we looked forward to every evening. Heck, we did not even make a trek to Mendocino. What does that tell you? The site plan on the property was carefully thought out as the builder and owners wanted to take advantage of the wonderful view of the ocean. Indeed they did! The only issue we had was that our stay at Casa Canon was only 4 days. Hopefully that will change next time.
