It's hard to overstate just how wonderful this vacation spot is. I'm an owner of Homeaway rental properties myself, so I'm very attuned to all the details of a house or apartment when I'm traveling. Jeanne, the owner of this rental asked me in person for suggestions, and I had to admit, I had absolutely NO criticisms to make. Jeanne has thought of everything. First, and foremost, the location is amazing. It's on top of a mountain overlooking the Pacific, and right next to a huge wilderness area. We saw rabbits and birds of all kinds. It is quiet and completely private. The weather during our stay was also wonderful: we kept the doors and windows open the whole time, and enjoyed the breezes--70s during the day and 60s at night. Second, the pool is steps from the back door, and is essentially a private pool. My three kids, ages 9, 11, and 2, had it all to themselves and used it multiple times every day. We could watch them from the patio, with cocktails in hand. How awesome!! Third, the house itself is lovely: well-decorated, with a full and fully stocked kitchen, professional gas stove, stainless fridge and great dishwasher. Jeanne also provides laundry facilities, which a family on vacation absolutely needs. The bathrooms were clean and the beds comfortable--very nice linens and comforters. There are also all kinds of beach toys in the garage if you want to go down to the beach, which is only about 5 minutes away, driving. The town itself is charming, with fun restaurants and shops and, of course, the beach close by. This is really a gem, and I give it my highest recommendation!
