"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."

10/10 Excellent
"I so appreciate these hosts allowing our large, but well-behaved dogs. We loved turning on the little fire on the patio. I even saw a whale out in the ocean while I was sitting on the deck enjoying morning coffee. Husband and I loved walking the in neighborhood and on local trails. The neighborhood has a funky charm and character. Nice and quiet. And we hit up two dog-friendly restaurants in the area: Sam's Chowder House, and Moss Beach Distillery. Had a great time!"
