Nice Cottage

Nice cottage in an Amazing location. It was very clean & small but good for a couple. Comfortable porch. You can occasionally hear people in house above & it would have been nice if they provided some coffee pods. But overall a comfortable stay for 4 nights.

Peaceful Getaway

This property was very clean and comfortable. This was the perfect location for a vacation with my granddaughter. I spent every morning on the patio looking at the ocean. The neighborhood is quiet and restaurants are within walking distance. The checkin process was convenient and the manager was very easy to reach. Communication was excellent and I look forward to staying at this property in the near future.

Fantastic Spot

The property description is accurate, but really doesn't do the place justice.- The location is fantastic. Sunsets on the porch, walking to watch the surfers, around the corner from Wayfarer Bread, etc.- Parking was very easy- The place is well laid out and well maintained. Lots of thought clearly went into fitting it out, right down to the outlets and USB plugs bedside- The management company was very responsive, helpful, and friendly- The owner was personable and friendly

Apartment

The owners apparently live above the apartment so sometimes during the late hours you can hear them walking. Shower and bathroom is small and the shower head was not working properly. Me personally, I don't see staying here again. Location was great!

Bird Rock 3 Day Stay

This VRBO is in the heart of an amazing community with access to a lot of great restaurants. Most of them walkable. A CVS on the corner. And a fantastic few of the Pacific and sunset. This host is incredibly fast with communicating. Would to hesitate to book again.
