You can't get a better location for the price when looking for a rental near the ocean. The garden is lovely and the hosts were very accommodating! The photos are accurate and the furnishings are fun and artsy. It was a great base to use for exploring the area. The Santa Rita wine region is less than 45 minutes away. Instructions were clear and check-in and check-out were easy.
A few things to note: if you have back issues, you'll find the mattresses (double bed & twin bed) uncomfortable. They are soft and unsupportive. We did not use the futon. If you're picky about the type of pillow you use, bring your own.
There are some things in the listing that we didn't find in the rental. A first aid kit, fireplace, washer, dryer, and dishwasher are all listed but not found in the rental unit. The smoke detector was missing... the base was still mounted but the unit wasn't there. We did not see a carbon monoxide detector in the unit either. A heater is listed but there is no furnace control.
It was lovely to sit outside and eat at the picnic table when the weather was nice! The outside table is the only dining space available. The listing asks renters to enjoy the outside areas after 1pm so we ate breakfast and lunch in the room picnic-style on the bed.
The weather was cool-ish during our visit and there was only one day when we would have liked air conditioning in the rental unit. It seems that most homes in the area do NOT have a/c, as the weather usually makes it unnecessary. If you're from a climate where you're used to controlling the temp inside by use of a/c and a furnace, you may find the lack of control in the rental annoying.
The rooms themselves were clean and bright. The owners ask you to wash your own dishes by hand before leaving, and provide dish soap and a drying rack in the bathroom. We did find that the previous guests had put away their coffee mugs dirty and left one dirty glass in the drying rack, which was irksome in the 'age of covid'. We sanitized everything before using it by boiling water in the teapot and soaking the utensils and cups we wanted to use. The owners provide one washcloth and one bath towel per guest for our 6 day/5 night stay; it would have been nice to have more than one each, or access to the washer/dryer to clean them. Two beach towels were provided.
As a Vrbo host myself, I notice EVERYTHING... my notes above informational, not complaining! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this rental :)
