Loved our stay, the view was even better than the pictures would suggest. Really felt like our stay here helped us rest, and recharge. Will be dreaming of the back deck for a long time.
We had a wonderful time staying at the Cliff House. The views are amazing from the deck. The hot tub was comfortable and soothing after a few hours of warming it up to optimal temperature from a starting temperature of 76. The King bed in main bedroom is comfortable, and that bathroom is large and convenient. We appreciated the reasonably priced option on our stay for late checkout at 2pm as well. Would definitely stay again in the future.
Gorgeous views and lovely living room. HOWEVER, the two en suite bathrooms are in terrible condition. Missing/broken drawers, cabinet door; peeling liner in tub, broken hand held shower holder in master bath, and there’s a major gash in the refrigerator door panel. The house was clean, but there are so many deferred maintenance and repair items, that it should not be rented again until everything has been fixed. For such a beautiful property, it is a travesty to let it sit in disrepair as it is now. So sad.

We appreciate your feedback. We are disappointed to read that your recent experience was not completely satisfactory. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowners to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you!
The views are spectacular, and the privacy of the home made for a very relaxing stay. We had an issue on check-in day when we didnt realized there was no hot water until 8 in the evening. But the Maintenance man, who was very kind,came out right away to resolve this and it did not put a damper on our stay. I would definitely recommend to anyone, and would even love to stay again one day.
A slice of heaven. An amazing place. A top notch property from check in to check out. Reluctantly sharing the review because we would love to keep it a secret.

Loved that the great room and both bedrooms had floor to ceiling windows that looked out to the ocean. Positively gorgeous! We have stayed in a lot of homes but this was incredible. Will definitely be coming back.
