Little Gem

We had a great stay with everything we needed close to the surf for a contest this weekend. Super easy walk to surf, maybe 7 minutes to the steps. The kitchen was actually stocked with useful items which I’ve found to be rare in some places. Super easy check in and great access to town. We’ll be back next year. Thank you.

Cute bungalow with great location

Nice to walk to Steamer Lane to surf, eat at Steamer Supply, and great coffee and croissant at Shrine Coffee. The house is very efficient and comfortable with everything you need except maybe a full roll of paper towels and an extra roll of toilet paper so you don’t have to go to the store right away.

Just what we needed

We were in town for a large sporting event and needed somewhere close to the event - that also serve as a relaxing home base. This place was perfect for that. There was space in the garage for our gear. The house was cool and quiet after a day in the sun. We were comfortable and we loved it.

Wonderful corner of the World

Great little spot on West Cliff, right where you want to be. Only Lighthouse Field open space across the street and then the ocean so very quiet and serene. Clean living area downstairs and two great bedrooms upstairs, 1 with nice corner suite forest views and feels. Everything you need and nothing you don't! The front door lock and coded entry was a bit sticky but we got it figured out. Driveway reserved for your car was terrific. Thank you!

Great spot, cute place

Location was wonderful and the place was nice and clean. It did miss a few essentials, like we didn’t have a dishwashing sponge nor any body wash in the bathroom like in other VRBOs. But there was laundry soap that smelled wonderful so I did my laundry 😊. I would note there is just 1 bathroom which can get tricky with 5-6 people but we made it work. Beds were comfy, had enough towels. We would stay here again. Nice little spot at a great location away from the craziness yet still walking distance to it. Thank you

Disappointed stay

It was a substandard experience. The description mentioned we needed to buy some supplies but the house did not provide anything that’s standard for vacation rentals. We had to buy tissues, kitchen towels, toilet paper, and trash bags. It would be a much better experience to provide your guests with the bare minimum instead of treating our experience as an expense. On top of that, the walls are paper thin. We can hear each other breathing in the other room. For the price of the stay, the build quality is not acceptable.

Nice Property; Really Nice Location

Fantastic location. Proximity to Lighthouse Park and West Cliff are hard to beat. The property itself has all the basics -- nothing remarkable, but everything you'd expect. The bed in the master is very nice. The bathroom is a little cramped, but adequate. All in all, we were glad we decided to stay here.
