We had a wonderful experience at this property! The space was as described and fit our large family beautifully! The home was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of linens for a family of 13. We loved the location to the beach and the backyard space, as well. We can't wait to return.

This property fit the bill perfectly for a group of 12 adults experiencing a sea kayak clinic for military veterans. Easy access for paddling at Elkhorn Slough and Monterey Harbor. And of course, the beach access was fantastic.The place was spotless, roomy, and comfortable.The maintenance team was prompt in addressing some minor electrical and plumbing issues.What a great stay!

We had a great time staying here for my dad's 80th birthday. Everything was great but guests should know that there aren't any bathrooms on the top floor which was a little inconvenient for my older family members.

The property was good and we enjoyed our stay. The board walk leading into the house was in disrepair with caution, tape and plywood. It looked as if the cleaning crew had not quite finished as cleaning products were left out on the counter. Other than that, it was a very nice property for our family.

Perfect for large families with kids

My family and I celebrated my 40th birthday here and we had a wonderful time. The kids loved the theater room, while the adults kicked back upstairs. Short walk to the beach was awesome. This home is spacious and cozy. We definitely want to stay here again in the future.

Nice big house, plenty of room for lots of people.

This house is plenty big for a large group of people. It has 2 very large communal areas which never makes it feel crowded. The BEST large table I've seen with plenty room for everyone to fit. Also a well stocked kitchen and game cabinet!

Peaceful and beautiful location, but needs work

A group of family and friends rented this house for a weekend. The location is good and the beach is close by. There are a lot of beds and 3 bathrooms; the main complaint from all of us was: the dishwasher wasn't cleaning anything and the whole kitchen needs remodeling. Too small for the size of house and difficult to work in. They could also add a 1/2 bath upstairs to make that more convenient, but remodeling the kitchen is a needed thing. Otherwise we enjoyed staying there.

Great family vacation!

Our multigenerational family thoroughly enjoyed staying here. House was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Except for some groups walking by, we were the only ones around at the beach. We were glad to use some of the beach equipment in the outside storage area. Carts are provided to transport your luggage from the parking lot to the house up the path. Bar soap provided for bathing and hand washing, but bring your own shampoo!

Simply beautiful

This is such a wonderful property. So close to a beautiful beach, wild flowers and interesting architecture as your neighbors, very clean and nicely decorated. Albeit a little remote, it is within a gated community that feels super safe, and the closest town is only10 minutes away for grocery and (limited) restaurants. One thing to note though is that the "bonus room" is within another room without its own direct door to the hallway, so can only be accessed through the other room, hence the name.

Great house on the dunes

Really nice house with awesome location steps to the beach. The house is a nice layout but all three bathrooms are downstairs. Kitchen is small but functional. Needs a new can opener. The kitchen is well equipped, even for large groups. Overall a great rental if you can get past the high fees that cost more than the rental price per night. $1000 in fees for a two night rental is over the top.
