My husband, 3 children (11, 9 and 2) and I spent 9 days at this property in June. It was absolutely breathtaking. There is no way to describe the space that will fully give it justice.
When we opened the door to the condo the first time we could not believe how spacious and beautiful it was.
There are 2 oversized master bedrooms on each end of the condo. Each had a king sized bed and a fold out couch. Both include a huge master closet, and a large bathroom with shower and jet tub. The smaller room had 2 full sized beds and a bathroom with a shower across the hall.
There was a full sized laudry room stocked with beach and bath towels, detergent, and other necessities.
The living area was to die for. The large open space that overlooked the ocean could not be replicated. It was perfect for us to cook, watch tv (on the very rare occasion), and spend time together.
The balcony is way larger than the pictures look. It stretches the length of the condo and is exceptionally wide.
The home had so many necessities i can't even list them. I will try: Pack n play, pool toys, life jackets, beach necessities, coolers, kitchen seasonings, all kitchen tools and pans, extra bedding...the list goes on. I have stayed at many VRBO's but this one was the most fully stocked.
The pool and grounds were perfectly maintained with very little traffic. Any time we were at the pool there was no more than one other family or couple there.
It is in a great location in San Jose. At the end of the hotel "strip" but in perfect walking distance. We drove to the grocery store but you could easily walk. It is just a couple blocks away.
One issue we had with the location of the condo is that it is right next to a public access. Locals tended to hang out near the beach entrance in the evening and play loud music. It only bothered us one night because it got too loud and late.
We spent time in downtown San Jose. The resurants are amazing and the shopping was fun.
We also hit up quite a few really great local beaches. I read a lot that there wasn't any beaches to swim at but we easily found 3 right near our condo.
While you are there take the time to go to Flora Farms, expecially on a Tuesday. You will need to make reservations and it is pricy but completely beautiful. Even if you don't eat at the resturant take time just to walk the grounds.
We absolutely expect to come back.
