Family get away

This place has everything. From beach and sunset with pool and sports courts to having every possible accessory needed as if it were your own home, this place had it all. Everything was spelled out and easy… didn’t need to contact the owner once during our entire stay. If coming back to Moss Landing, would definitely stay again.

Just perfect

Ted was responsive and accommodating.The beautiful place was just as it was described.We were 7 old friends that will get together every year and enjoy eating drinking playing card game and reminisce about younger days.So the back seating area and the front deck and short walk to the beach checked all the boxes.I will go back to Ted’s place with my own family in the near future.

A Slice of Paradise by the Sea – Highly Recommended! Ted and Rose have created something truly special with this beachfront home—it’s absolute paradise. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with sweeping ocean views, thoughtful amenities, and a peaceful, relaxing vibe.The home is incredibly spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with a serene beach theme that instantly puts you at ease. The second-floor patio overlooking the ocean is a dream—perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or sunset glass of wine. And speaking of wine, Ted and Rose went above and beyond with their thoughtful welcome gift: a bottle of wine and chocolates that made us feel truly cared for. You’re literally less than a minute’s walk from the beach. Each morning, we strolled the shore collecting intact sand dollars and watching sea lions play in the surf. The wildlife in the area is incredible—sea birds and seals. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed—plenty of dishes, coffee, condiments, and more. There’s also a cozy fireplace, and on the partially sunny days during our stay, we enjoyed sitting by the window and watching the waves roll in. At night, we slept with the windows open, lulled to sleep by the sound of crashing waves. Our family is already making plans to return. Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, a peaceful retreat, or a family getaway, this place is an absolute gem. Thank you, Ted and Rose, for creating such a magical space, we can’t wait to come back.
