We all had a fantastic time and couldn’t have asked for a better house. It was a beautiful home from the bedrooms to the kitchen and living room to an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean and the pier. You were just steps to the beach and restaurants. Thank you again Doug for all your help. We would definitely love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Gathering Place! The location is absolutely phenomenal, and the host was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout our stay.The house is very spacious, with a bonus room and an additional bathroom in the garage. It’s thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need for a beach getaway, including beach towels, beach chairs, board games, and plenty of books. You really don’t need to bring much!We cooked almost every meal during our stay, and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, a blender, oven, and everything else we needed to comfortably prepare meals for our group.The neighbors are also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our kids especially enjoyed spending time with one of the neighbor’s kids, which made the stay feel even more special.Overall, it was a fantastic place and a wonderful experience. We would absolutely love to come back!

This house has an incredibly well equipped kitchen and comfy places to relax when we were not at the beach! They generously allowed us to stay later in the day as our flight was in the evening. The downstairs bedrooms were all quote comfortable, cozy, and bright. Thank you!
