Spectacular California Oceanfront Seaside Haven

10/10 Excellent
"This was the most welcoming rental! The hosts think of everything. The surprises they left were absolutely delightful. The location is secluded but close to just about everything you could want or need. The sunsets were some of the best I have ever seen and watching them from the hot tub was so relaxing. We tried some of the delicious nearby restaurants and were able to cook some too. There is great hiking nearby, both near the coast and among the redwoods. The highlight was the whale watching from the property. It was mesmerizing!"

"The house is very nice, clean, and near the beach. The host was very easy to communicate with and always friendly, accommodating, understanding, and timely with responses to any issues I had. The house has nice views of the beach from the second floor. Plus, the host is pet friendly, which was key for us since we were there to compete in the World Dog Surfing Championships that weekend."
