    Great experience with the house. It was beautiful, large and a great time. My family of 11 had a blast. We look forward to renting the house again!

    Beautiful property, with excellent views of and access to the ocean. Great property layout with three separate floors, providing tons of space for our group. The host was responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend this property.

    Beautiful spotless home right on the beach. The owner was very communicative and even gifted me a free night because her housekeepers could not allow a later checkout time due to daylight savings. All was well until one of my guests lost her dog sitter at the last minute. I asked the owner if she might make an exception, which she did, provided she pay a deposit and cleaning fee. When the friend did not pay immediately, During the short time I put my phone down to be present with my guests I was barraged with literally 20 calls and texts saying we are evicted and the sheriff is on their way. Quite the pivot! And a traumatic event during my 50th birthday party! I cried! This is how they treated a paying customer who had already paid a large sum to rent the place and signed a lease.

    This house was located right on the beach. Views from every bedroom. Also, where this house was located there was hardly any people on the beach. We were able to have a fire on the beach and roast marsh mellows with the grandkids.There were no issues with check in or check out.Parking for multiple cars right outside the front door was nice.Our host was very helpful and responsive to the few questions i had.

    We loved staying at the house so much! It was perfect for our group: some friends wanted to relax with a fantastic view while others were surfing and on the beach. Easy communication, easy entry and exit, great experience!

    The views from this house are awesome. Close to Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, Watsonville and a 40 minute drive to Monterey. I can’t emphasize enough, how perfect this beach house is for a group gathering. Stairs from the bottom level go right to the beach. All 3 floors have a living room area, refrigerator and at least one bedroom which provides everyone with some privacy. Top (entry) floor has 2 bedrooms (1K, 1Q), bathroom and kitchen (cook top, no oven). Second floor has one bedroom (Q), 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen and gas fireplace (the gas fireplace provides lovely ambiance in the evening). Bottom floor has one bedroom (K), one curtained off bed area on a platform (Q), and twin trundle beds, bathroom and a kitchenette (Fridge and microwave, no cook top or oven). The owners are very responsive and kind.

    It was a beautiful house. Very spacious for our group of 16. Host was super responsive. 3 floors and 3 kitchens, but only 2nd floor was equipped with kitchen utensils, appliances and dishware. We did fine with just one kitchen. I didn’t like how water was rationed and we had to use water sparingly which made it hard to do with a large group, but overall, a very pleasant stay. Would book again because kids loved being so close to the beach.

    So much room for our entire family, with secluded areas for when you wanted some alone time too. GORGEOUS views. Hope to return some day.

    It’s a great property right on the beach. We had our 4 kids and 2 grandkids with us and a great time was had by all. Plenty of space for all 10 of us. We would come back again.

    Excellent location! You walk out the door on bottom floor, down the stairs and land directly on the beach! There are a lot of stairs both inside the house and going to beach. But the views from every floor, every room are worth it. There are 3 floors , kitchens and bathrooms and bedrooms on each floor! We had lots of space, there were 10 adults. You can fish off the beach and bonfires at night were fun! Communication with owner was easy and prompt. Highly recommend this house if you are looking for a house on the beach with amazing views and spacious. Loved sitting on the deck on 2nd floor and watching the ocean.
