We had an amazing time staying here. The house was lovely and was in walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and other fun activities. Our kids had a great time, they enjoyed coming back to the house and sitting on the porch to watch the ocean and all the eagles. We hope to be back next summer!

It was a great property and location, walking distance to the water and shops / restaurants. It was as clean and well appointed as it could be for the age, location and allowing dogs. The owner was helpful and easy to contact.

Clean space with a great location

The proximity to Bishop Beach is superb. Clean and spacious place. Property manager was extremely helpful. The beds were a little uncomfortable, but other than that, it’s a solid place to stay.

Cozy Home Base

Great home base with a stocked kitchen and grill. It's a close walk to the beach and to 2 Sisters Bakery - both excellent options to start your day. The rooms were clean and exactly as shown in the photos. The upstairs balcony was awesome. Would definitely stay here again.
