Nice, quiet neighborhood and quick access to beach

Overall great property. Easy check in, very responsive owner, and pictures are accurate. What you see is truly what you get. You need to make sure to bring everything they tell you so don’t think they’re just kidding lol. If there is WiFi we couldn’t find the info and quite frankly didn’t matter because we wanted to be outside but there is a roku and we couldn’t use it. Not a big deal for us. Some of the sheets were pretty stained and we found a cigarette butt in the bunk bed when we arrived from the previous guest. It’s definitely the most expensive Vrbo I’ve stayed in around this area for the size of the house but I brought a side by side and left it and my trailer in the driveway while we drove around town and to the beach. Safe, quiet neighborhood and the neighbors kept a good eye on things and even helped me out when I needed it. If you’re not familiar with the area just know you’re a good drive away from a store so prepare but the beauty of it is you’re far away from the crowds too.

Review of vrbo stay

Nice cozy little house, had trouble getting the rental agreement to owner who was short in conversation, key code we were given was wrong so had to contact owners as soon as we got there and wait for correct code. Other than that house was just as advertised and expected. Affordable cozy and clean! Enjoyed our stay and plan to come back

Amazing

It was an adorable place with a really nice neighborhood. The beach was so nice and close entrance to minimal crowd with a shallow area where the kids could play safely in the ocean. My husband caught a sheepshead right from the beach. We enjoyed the lasting hot water in the shower and the comfortable beds in this house. Easy clean up with the tile floors and relaxing big porch with a swing. It’s a perfect place for an affordable vacation.

Enjoyable family weekend

Great location right by the beach, very cozy house, nice place to fish and chill. When we arrived the cleaning person hadn’t taken the previous bedding out of the bathtub. I texted the property owner which responded very quickly despite being so late at night. They was very concerned stayed in contact and refunded us the cleaning fee and one’s night stay plus had the cleaning person come out the next morning to clean the bathroom. I would most definitely rent from them again. Thank you Kerri and Josh be blessed.

Stay was nice

Everything was good, nice location , small and cozy. But checking in was a hassle. I wouldn’t mind if the instructions were updated. But we spent a good amount time of our time looking for a red valve to turn the water on when it was a blue valve. Another problem we had was the chair. There was two old chair that had leather peeling off so we spent most of our time cleaning the peeling leather so my baby wouldn’t put it in his mouth. Other than that everything else was good. Love the location.

I'll be going back for sure

I've stayed on San Luis pass before and at surfside and have had bigger houses but this one was my favorite so far. Nice and cozy and big decks. Will definitely be going back . The owner was great. She was very easy to contact and replied very quick. Not to mention she was very nice. I took my boat to this house and was very happy with being able to stow my boat on the lift and able to wash it down after going out . I've talked about this place to a few friends and they are very interested in renting this place out. Had a great time and definitely going back again.

Just enough space

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. The house was just enough space for my boyfriend and I and the kids. The neighbor across the canal was kind enough to offer us some live bait for our fishing and let the kids use their water pad in the canal. We brought our boat and paddle boards as well. We discovered the sand bar to the right of the canal on our last day and parked our boat there to hang out for a bit. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
