Excellent stay. The pool table and spa made for a fun weekend getaway. The best part of the experience were the amazing views and the outside seating areas. I would most definitely stay there again.

The homes location is fantastic. Upon our arrival, we found the home extremely hot; we opened the windows, noticed algae in the bottom portion of each window. The interior could definitely use some improvements; upstairs bedroom bedding (duvet) needs replacement, the bathroom fans do not work; way too much humidity! Unfortunately, we lost power twice (that’s a utility company issue) but found inadequate emergency lighting; I found cheap lanterns in the kitchen cabinet. Maybe upgrade those items. Other than that, we had a nice time. Lastly, maybe conceal the trash cans in front of the house; it’s tacky. Maybe build a small concealment if the HOA will allow.Thx

A beautiful home in a beautiful location. Highly recommend. The kids loved watching the ocean and wildlife through the great big windows. We saw rabbits, deer, an owl and more. Lots of room for all of us to stretch out and get comfortable.

There were some problems with windows and how hot the house was with minimal fresh air. Problem with parking pass. Views were amazing and since I was at the beach most of the time, it was ok. Won't be back there again. Prefer a property closer to the ocean.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this location and each time we rent a little longer than the time before and I’ll be darned it still flies by. Amanda (wine country to coast rental agency representative is amazing. Excellent customer support. The amenities this time were great! House always had a coffee pot, but now they have a Keurig machine (we used usually packed ours) and different flavored pods. Also the bathroom has upgraded supplies and for the hot tub towels are now provided for guest use! Sounds silly but I really appreciated all the extras the agency provided and didn’t have to unpack half of my own items. Love the entire atmosphere of this house. The deer are so beautiful and friendly. Pet friendly too!

Beautiful views but the house has a lot of deferred maintenance. A mixed bag on this home. Ocean homes get so much weather abuse and has to be kept up all the time. This has not been done. The beds were old and uncomfortable. The whole house needed updating. Windows were old some broken and most could not be opened. Hot tub was nice and pretty new. If you want a home with an ocean view, short drive to a doggie beach this is a good escape. We made the best of our time but would not return.
