Great ocean view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was great for our family of 10. The view is spectacular. The kids loved the game room, and we all enjoyed the awesome tide pools. The path to the beach took about 3-4 minutes with some rocks at the end. It was often cool and windy, but overall, I would highly recommend the TidePool house.

Great dog friendly beach destination

House was perfect and access to beach was unbeatable. No fence for dogs but we have leads that screw into the ground and it worked great.

Great for kids and adults!

We live locally and stayed here over spring break so we could go back and forth for sports. The house worked perfectly for us. The kids walked down the beach each day to play whiffle ball, collect shells and go in the water. When they weren’t at the beach, they were in the hot tub or the game room. While they were busy, I was able to work a bit or sit outside and read a book while listening to the ocean. Great times were had by all and we will definitely be back!

A little bit of heaven.

Beautiful house, location and views of the ocean. The house was big enough for us, 7 adults and 3 children ages 1, 2, and 3 year old. Lots to do, in the game room. Just all around fabulous place to make memories.

Beautiful home in a perfect location

My sons (early 20's) and I loved staying in this beautiful home for our near end of season vacation. It's close to SF, and feels like a completely different world. The views of the ocean are stunning and there is a path down to the gorgeous sandy beach beside the property.
