The home was a perfect place to enjoy time in southern California. The home had supplies needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The host was very prompt in responding to a drain issue. The neighborhood was very quiet and we had a great view of ocean from the patio . ##### Julie S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary F. May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and nice house This was a good spot. Just one block from the beach access with an adequate kitchen--we cooked every night, rarely having to make adjustments. One thing though, no dishwasher. At first it was a little surprising, but we got used to that after a day or so. Easy parking, easy highway access, easy grocery shopping, easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops. An all-around gem of a spot! ##### Mary F. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary C. S. May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely escape - highly recommend This property is in the perfect location. The ocean view was lovely and only a few houses from the ocean. We are local and stayed due to house renovation. The drive to work and school was easy and coming home to this place reduced the stress. The place is simple and clean. The full kitchen made cooking available. There is no dishwasher.Would love to come back and enjoy it on vacation:). ##### Mary C. S. Stayed 21 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helio S. Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location Definitively a great place to stay. Close to the beach and to the Village, house is clean and bedrooms are very comfortable. No dishwasher but it is OK for a few days. Only thing to be improved is the Kitchen things. A little more options on glasses and cooking stuff would help. I would come back easily here. ##### Helio S.
