The house was a lovely, private, beautifully situated ocean front home, well located for our purposes being close to SFO, San Francisco and the Carmel area. We enjoyed our stay very much. I had good interactions with the rental company and all went well. We'd very much recommend this property.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your family getaway at our property. It's great to know that the view and cleanliness met your expectations. We would love to welcome you back for another stay at The Wave Houses in the future. Thanks again for choosing us for your family getaway!
More towels in kitchen and bathrooms would be good. Save on paper towels and dryer use for that many people! The stove clicks throughout all cooking! Thank you for the dishwasher pods!
It was a great place to celebrate our Dads 81st birthday. We were 9 including 2 kids. The rooms were comfortable, views spectacular and the location was perfect. We all took long walks along the coast on the trails starting right outside the house. Had lunch at the Moss Beach distillery less than a mile away from the house and spent plenty of time sitting on the deck or the family room, chatting and playing board games. Check-in and check out was easy. Host was prompt in any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this place for any family gathering.
