About this property

Steps From the Beach, Private Yard, Hot Tub

Nestled on a quiet sandy calle, this light-filled beach house invites you to relax from the moment you arrive. Curl up in a cozy reading nook or take the short path over the dunes for a peaceful beach walk. After a dip in the ocean, rinse off in the outdoor shower and unwind in the hot tub. Walk to nearby restaurants or cook in the open-concept kitchen and gather around the large custom dining table or the deck’s picnic table with hill views. The spacious enclosed yard includes a charcoal grill. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf in the king-bed primary bedroom, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed and a separate full bed. A charming garden casita with a built-in twin bed provides extra privacy for guests.

Artsy warm home

This family home is filled with the owner's art and quirky deco. We had fun exploring the house and enjoyed the location - quick walk to the beach and a short bike ride to town. (One thing that would have made it even better: screens on the windows so that we could enjoy the fresh ocean breeze sans mosquitoes).

The Essential 2 Jose Patio Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'll start by saying that this was a troubled stay. On our second day, electricians were in and out of the house all day; they were good lads, but it was intrusive and the power was out for a time. That work knocked out the hot tub and the tv's streaming services. Later in the week, we had more workers (hot tub maintenence + hot tub repairman). In all honesty, it was a bummer at not having those amenities, and having frequent disruptions. The saving grace was Fritz, who himself came and fixed the tv. But we love the property, and would welcome a discounted night if we return again.

Love the large kitchen and the table is great for sharing meals and playing games. Kitchen nicely stocked, but could use more wine glasses. Yard is very secure for dogs. Bocce ball court is a fun addition. A few of the windows wouldn't open.

We'll be back

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2nd time at this house and we just love it. Only negative the need for a plumber in the house for several hours due to a clogged sink that was obviously a problem when we first arrived the day before and apparently an issue in the past as well. But aside from that this is a lovely, art-filled house with a baby grand piano and only a few steps from the beach. Will be back again.
