Great experience! Plenty of room for everyone. We saw sea lions from the master bedroom. There wasn't any beach in front of the house while we were there but just the sound of the sea satisfied us. One night , the smoke alarm started chirping and by the next morning, they were at the property putting a new one up. We will stay here again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Jami! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spacious home and even got to see sea lions from the master bedroom! We’re also glad the sound of the ocean helped make your stay special.
We appreciate your patience with the smoke alarm, and we’re happy we were able to get that taken care of quickly. It means a lot to hear that you’d stay with us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

For the cost of the property per night, we expected much more. It was stuffy and humid when we arrived, so we tried to open windows and a few of the cranks weren’t functioning properly and came off in our hands, as well as TV’s not functioning. We were locked out of Netflix which was supposed to be an app we could access. Door to patio was nearly non operable-very hard to open and close properly. Kitchen had a stench. Carpet and rugs and decor were very dated. Patio had furniture, but cushions were stained and dirty. Steps down to ocean were in disrepair, and very hazardous to step on to access the beach which we couldn’t get it. Fire pit was rusty, so it wasn’t used at all. The bathroom drain in the pink carpet room did not open and close properly so it drained slow. The bed and bath linens were clean, but overall, for what we spent for our stay, we definitely would not stay there again. Very disappointing.

Thank you again for staying with us and for your feedback.
House is very old and outdated but does have a great location and beautiful view. The stove top was super confusing to turn on, and the microwave did not work. The doors going outside were super difficult to open. There is no outdoor shower to get the sand off, and the only hose was broken and water shot out from the torn side of it. The concrete balcony on the deck was broken and dilapidated and being held together by large, taped up blankets. This really obstructed the view of the ocean and was disappointing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but it would’ve been nice is everything was in working condition.

Reviewer Comments:
Our experience was not good. We arrived and the house was incredibly hot. We thought maybe the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on and so we turned it down so the house could start to cool off. When it wasn’t cool by the next day, we knew the a/c was probably broken and contacted the rental company. They never sent anyone to fix it. The back stairs to the beach was broken and dangerous. The “beach front” pics were misleading as the waves were beating against the house. We rented this place so we wouldn’t have to drive anywhere but we ended up having to since there was no beach/sand at the house. It was very dated. I’m sure it was nice at some point but for the price, it was pretty faded and lackluster. The back door was also broken - very hard to open and close. They provided s’mores supplies that seemed as if they had been there for a while as the marshmallows were literally disintegrating into a mushy mess in the bag. We can’t recommend this place at all. When we asked for a discount for a broken air conditioning (since this place advertised that they had a/c) we were told we hadn’t them the know “soon enough” and they wouldn’t give us a discount. 0/5 stars for us.

Had a great time at the facility, the owner and maintenance team were superior, due to the damage caused by the storms. It would be helpful if they upgraded the WIFI system, do not plan to do work there, mbps WIFI.

Lovely location & views. Large home that requires maintenance & updating. Photos do not represent current condition of rooms that are worn & tired. Was clean but older, dated furnishings were very disappointing. Communication with rental agency was good.

The vacation gods smiled on our family group with 5 days of sunshine in this large and comfortable waterfront home. Our group of ten was able to spread out with comfort and privacy and there was room for family members, who live nearby, to join us in the spacious common areas. We found the amenities as advertised and would rent it again for future gatherings.

That’s wonderful to hear, John ! I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed the sunshine and had plenty of space to relax and gather together. We’d love to have you back anytime.

Thanks for leaving a review. We're glad to know you enjoyed your stay. However, I must note that the pictures of the house are absolutely accurate. The entire area from Dana Point to San Clemente is experiencing beach erosion, which we can do nothing about, but the house is depicted absolutely accurate.

Lots of nice details, cute kitchen platters and well-organized items. Not all beds are adult friendly. Great location and beautiful view.

Had a blast! Great location, kids enjoyed the beach when the tide was low. When tide is high you have a great patio area to enjoy the ocean mist. The view from the master bedroom is breathtaking, it felt like I was on a cruise ship.
