Definitely a 5+ star rental. We rented this home for a week long family reunion which included 9 adults and 2 children. We traveled from Sacramento, our adult children traveled here from Washington, Idaho and Texas. This home is exceptional in every way! These are just a few of the things that we loved the best: 1) Location – It is a very short walk to the stairs that leads directly to the beach. It is a great beach which is much larger than some other beaches in the area. 2) This home is fully stocked! Kitchen equipment, dishes, towels for home and the beach, beach chairs, boogie boards, washer and dryer, 2 full size refrigerators, one in the house and one in the garage, even an outside shower to clean of the beach sand before coming inside. 3) Lots of space or eating or just visiting. There are multiple eating areas – a large kitchen table, a table with umbrella out on the deck which is just off the inside dining area, bar stools at the kitchen counter and a large bar with stools down stairs off the second family room area. 4) 2 Family room areas, one upstairs, one downstairs. 5) Games & Entertainment – the ping pong table, basketball game and foosball table kept my adult kids very well entertained. There was lots of movies to watch too and two separate TV entertainment areas. 6) The view from the upstairs family room and the crow’s nest seating area. 7) The home was exceptionally clean! 8) The owner was so helpful. I emailed her several times with questions as I planned our trip.
While we were there we enjoyed the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, zip line & redwood canopy tour at Mount Herman, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, 17-mile drive, Carmel and the beach. We had a great time.
This was a wonderful place to stay and we hated to leave! We would definitely recommend this home to everyone!
