The house was perfect for a girl's weekend trip. The weather was gorgeous and the beach was steps away!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear the house was perfect for your girls’ weekend and that you were able to enjoy the gorgeous weather and easy beach access. It sounds like a great getaway! We’d love to host you again anytime—come back and stay with us whenever you’re ready for another relaxing trip by the beach.
Beautiful house and amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! A small note, if you check in after hours, it can be a little tricky to find the house.

The house and the beach were the most peaceful, beautiful accomodations. We were thrilled. There is a nice sunroom off of the side of the house and the early bird workers were able to go out there and close the door and work. The kitchen was great. The couch in the living room was hard to get out of for us older folks. The bedrooms were wonderful. Nice having a washer and dryer.
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.
We had a lovely stay at this cozy and welcoming home just a short walk from the beach. The location is fantastic, perfect for morning strolls & sunset views. The house itself has a warm, lived-in feel that made us feel comfortable right away.One of the standout features was the incredible space for kids to hang out. There were plenty of games, a TV and just room to spread out. It was ideal for keeping them entertained and relaxed.While the home could have been a bit cleaner upon arrival, it wasn’t a dealbreaker, just a few details that could use a little extra attention. Overall, it was a great spot for a family getaway, and we’d consider staying again.

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.

We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope to welcome you back!
My friends and family (a group of 13) had a blast staying at this location. It was perfect for our group. It had every essential item required for our 4 night stay. We plan to come back next year.

Stayed here with multiple families and we had a great time there. We enjoyed the closeness of the beach as well as the place being well stocked in the kitchen. Make sure to bring your own toiletries since they do not provide you with soap/shampoo

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!

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.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We're so glad your group enjoyed the location and had a great time together. You're absolutely right—the kitchen and an additional half bath are on our list, and we've been updating the home little by little. We're so sorry the dishwasher was giving you troubles, please call next time and we can try and trouble shoot the issue. We truly appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back again as we continue making improvements.
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!
