Our family stayed here for a west coast Christmas! It was fantastic and the ocean is right there...like look out your window and there it is...crashing waves, beautiful coast! The house was clean, well-stocked with board games, easy to use electronics, like the tv and wifi, and all the accommodations we needed! The hot tub was a bit difficult to use, the buttons didn't seem to work well, but that didn't affect our vacation in the least. We had great walks down the walkway to Seaside town proper, and enjoyed walking along the ocean too. I highly recommend staying here! Great host, great stay!
