The stay was great. The property was like an oasis blocks from the beach. It was comfortable and there was good communication with the hosts. We will definitely stay here again.
We absolutely loved this cozy oasis! Owners were easy to communicate with and reality is better than the listing. Great indoor and outdoor spaces to relax! Great attention to detail and all you need is here. We went to Channel Islands and walked to the beach… great access! Would definitely recommend and return!
The front yard of the property was very secluded, and tranquil, with the landscaping, ponds and walkway bridge. The house was very clean and was exactly as described. We were treated to beautiful sunflowers on the dining room table, fresh fruit, popcorn, and s'mores fixings. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and other beverages were supplied, as were many spices. Plenty of towels were provided for our stay. Extra touches were done throughout the house, and everything that we needed was supplied. The hot tub and back yard were also very secluded, and we felt like we were in an oasis! This was truly a treasure near the beach and Channel Islands boat tours. The owners, Greg & Lisa, were very quick to respond to any questions. We highly recommend this location for anyone's stay, and if we ever come back to the area, we'd certainly choose this location again.
There were 6 of us and it easily slept all of us. The kitchen was really nice and had all the pots and pans and stuff to cook with. The location was great because it was quiet and was actually like a 7 minute walk to the beach. The front yard with the fish pond was super cool and it was nice and private because of the bamboo. The backyard was smaller than I expected but the jacuzzi and outdoor shower is really neat. The bathrooms were super nice and clean, would bathroom again. The showers were confusing to use but the water pressure and temp were good so I can’t complain. The lighting in the house was also good, especially in the kitchen and living room area. Would 100% stay here again.
