It's a small place, but has plenty of room upstairs for cooking, entertaining, and watching the beach/ocean. There is room for another couple downstairs, but upstairs is the best experience.Owners were so responsive when we had a little problem with propane tank and actually anytime I had a question.I would love to stay there again.
Best location. Full beach and ocean view. From the upper deck, we saw dolphins, whales and seals - incredible. This house is very well stocked, great kitchen and sitting room . all in all - very cozy and comfy. Rental team is very responsive. Highly recommend .
Absolutely beautiful!! From the view and all the little amenities! Weather was outstanding considering a few days before arriving there was a storm. Sun and clear blue skies! Thank you!!
Amazing house right on the beach - we loved the views (even saw whales!), and the layout was perfect for our family. Plus walking to the waves, or down to the market and restaurants, was a breeze.
everything is great. communication, the house is super equipped, it is in a wonderful place. The only thing missing is a heater when someone arrives in winter.
Great location - right on the beach! Unfortunately it was raining while we were there so unable to use the outside balcony and furniture. Views are stunning and there's direct access to the beach right across the unit! Kitchen had all the basics for meal prep or takeout. Covered car port also made it easy to get in and out esp while it was raining. Overall, it's a great unit if you're looking for a beachfront property and central to everything!
The view is INCREDIBLE!!!! We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the waves, we saw a lot of whale spouts the first day, very cool! Bring binoculars! The beds were very comfortable, everything was super clean and nice. We really had no problems at all. The location to the beach can't be beat, we walked across the road directly to steps down to the beach. The road wasn't busy at all, and neither was the beach.
We enjoyed our stay, house was good size for our family of 5. The ocean view was perfect and access to the beach was right across the street. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor balcony space was great for relaxing and watching the ocean waves. Loved having morning coffee and watching the sunrise. We plan on staying here again, great beach getaway house!
We love waking up with the beach right in front. Your property has very convenient beach access and is close to many great restaurants for dining in. The host is very nice and responds to our texts quickly. Even though it was just one night, we had a relaxing and great time.
