Aug 4, 2024 #### Wonderful property Many hi end appliances with great decor - much better than expected. Having one BR on the top floor and one on the 3rd level below with two Queen bunk beds and a Queen bed is great so grandkids don’t disturb Top floor Grandparents in the AM. There are three floors down from parking to the bottom floor and 49 more steps to the beach. Once there you have a lot of room as there is not much public access nearby. Overall, much better than expected! ##### Tom B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy H. Oct 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Modern, well-appointed, great ocean views, comfortable. It was a pretty perfect weekend at this lovely house with sweeping views of the sea and a clean beach to walk along for miles. Very comfortable furnishings, excellent property management, and wewatched dolphins frolicking near the shore for hours from the terrace. Good location - there are groceries and restaurants nearby, but we suggest the 15 minute drive toward downtown Watsonville for more reasonable prices and broader selection. Accessibility note: This house may not be suitable for people with mobility limitations as the living space is on three levels as there are many, many stairs - in the house as well as to access the beach. ##### Cathy H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith C. Aug 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly recommend! If you are looking for a high end place to stay, this is the place! The whole process went smooth from beginning to end and will definitely be going again next year. There are no BBQ utensils so if you plan on grilling bring your own. There are also beach toys for kids, chairs and more in the bottom hallway closet that wasn’t advertised and a hose to connect out back to rinse off before coming in the house which was nice to have on hand. The bathroom sink faucets and shower heads were outdated and need to be replaced too. We all loved the fire pit as well. Overall I highly recommend staying here. This was a great experience full of good memories to cherish forever. ##### Keith C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley A. Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home This beach house was absolutely beautiful, it comes with all the things you need included just pack a little clothes because it has a nice washer and dryer. The kitchen must have been recently re modeled because it’s beautiful and new looking. The down stairs is perfect for kids because it has full size bunk beds and the shower head detached so it’s perfect for the kids to shower in there. The fire pit on the balcony was a treat because you can roast s’mores and not have to have a bon fire at the beach for s’mores and deal with sticky hands on the beach. The only problem with this beach house is you and your family will be so sad to leave and try to convince your husband that you need to buy this house. Thank you for the week long wonderful vacation and memories. We will definitely rent this house again we plan to each summer as long as it’s available 💙 ##### Ashley A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne S., San Jose, CA Jun 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous location! The location is unbeatable. The property has stairs right down to the beach. Although the beach is open to the public, because access is limited, the beach right in front of the property stayed pretty open throughout the day. Overall, the house is well furnished and comfortable. There were just enough bath towels for each member of the family - 4 - and only 3 beach towels, so be prepared to do laundry or bring your own. They advertise a grill, but there are no grilling utensils. So if you plan to grill, bring your own utensils or be brave and use the kitchen utensils. I only gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the recycling bin in the house was full and there were visible strands of hair on the comforters. Having said that, we spilled a little water and when I wiped up the floor, the paper towel was surprisingly clean. Despite these small things, the property is beautiful, great location and generally well stocked. Will definitely visit again. ##### Anne S.

It’s nothing short of amazing. However, this property could use some serious updating and deep cleaning. The towels were dingy and there were several other things that lacked attention to detail.
