What our Former Guests Are Saying:

"Needed a place for family to stay for daughter's wedding and figured since we were heading to the Pacific Coast we might as well get a place on the beach! Wonderful location everything was just as advertised on the site and nothing was wrong at all except perhaps the weather since it rained for a couple of days Wife did not want to leave and said that she would love to come back and stay and visit with our new in-laws and we would easily come back to the same spot! We can easily recommend this location to anybody looking for a comfortable, clean, convenient beach access location!" – Jim B, Feb 2025

"We had a great stay! Beautiful home, many amenities, great location and responsive host!" – Lauren, Feb 2025

"We enjoyed our stay. The fireplace was great, with the cold windy weather. Beds were very comfortable, and the separate office space was great for remote work. Also a very dog friendly beach and neighborhood." – Tim O, March 2025

“This townhouse was everything we needed and more! The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach, and the home was beautifully appointed. We loved relaxing on the balcony in the mornings and sitting by the fire pit at night.” – Kelly, September 2024

“Perfect for our family trip! The house had everything we needed, from beach gear to baby supplies. We’ll definitely return!” – Jared, August 2024

Perfect rental and perfect location

My family and I had an AWESOME stay! We knew it would be close to the sand, but not literally seconds to the sand. It was perfect. It is perfectly located. Walking distance to ice cream, restaurants, etc. It was probably the cleanest rental we have ever been to. We had 6 people total and 1 dog. There was more than enough room. No rental is perfect, so there are only 3 things that we had "issues" with (that weren't even really issues, just inconveniences): no measuring cups in the kitchen for cooking, couldn't get the jets to work in the master bath up stairs (but the deep tub was still great for soaking), and the skylight in the upstairs master bedroom shines right on the bed in the morning with no way of blocking the sun. BUT, those 3 things are so minor there is no way we wouldn't stay here again. We 1,000x's recommend this house and can't wait for our next trip. You can tell the owner takes pride in her rentals!!!!!!

I could sit on the front balcony all day long.

Very clean, pet friendly home with a wonderful view of the ocean! Nice bed rooms with great beds. I am a senior, so I stayed in the downstairs bedroom with only nine stairs up to the next floor where the kitchen and living rooms are located. The duplex is on a very friendly and quiet street. I would definitely stay here again. Had a wonderful time. Thank you Lisa and thank you for ask answering my questions so quickly.
