    The house is nice in a great neighborhood but there were a few issues like when we booked it, we were under the impression that there was a nice little deck by the ocean to sit and read by because the property description listed one. That was not the case, I contacted the property manager and he said he had no idea where it was located or how it was listed on the property description. So that was a disappointment, the house needs some TLC, wasn’t the cleanest. The house needs a good deep cleaning and the couch needs to be replaced, the bedrooms were nice and the beds were clean but very firm and not comfortable at all. We had a water leak from the bathroom upstairs and was leaking from the ceiling vent into the laundry room and had to call maintenance just for them to show up and clean out the shower drain and said it was due to hair, well the next night we had the same problem and decided not to use that shower for the rest of our stay. The water leaked all over the dryer and down the dryer vent and caused the light in the laundry room to no longer work. The chairs on the front deck are broken with the exception of a few and not very comfortable. With all that said, it did not hamper our vacation and we ended up having a wonderful time. There is plenty to do within walking distance, from bars to food. The beach access is a very short walk about 8 minutes. Overall I would stay again if they fixed some of the issues.

    We were pleased with beach house. My only complaint is the furniture downstairs. The couch was full cookies and crackers. Upholstery needs a good scrub.

    We went for spring break with three teens and parents. The neighborhood was super cute, well maintained and a nice & short walk to the beach. The only thing I’d suggest is a little love to the house itself. The furniture was pretty beat up (a chair upstairs had iron-on patches over the worn parts), lots of dings on the walls & cabinets, all cosmetic stuff that can be improved upon. Other than that, the location is great and although we didn’t use the pools, it was nice option to have. My husband took advantage of the free golf and the credit towards beach toys was a huge perk as well.

    Even if you bring more guests to stay over, they provided mattresses and pillows in the closet and an extended parking lot in case you bring more than 2 cars!

    We have been coming down to Santa Rosa for almost 20 years now and this property is in our Top 3 favorite rentals. There was enough furniture for all 5 of us. The kitchen was well equipped. We LOVED the wrap around porch and started our day there every morning. It was a little odd to me that the master was on the second floor CS first. The master bed was a little firm for my liking but it worked. The pool was nice on the few days we didn’t go down to the beach. The beach was a quick walk or drive. I wish they had more spots to park down there but that has nothing to do with this property just an observation of the public access area. If you are looking for a quiet family location this is it! My family is already asking when are we renting this property again!

    Wanted to stay in Santa Rosa on 30A, this was the perfect place. Clean, convenient, and perfect sleeping arrangements.
