I do not understand the four star review. Communication? Were the photos inaccurate? Was the description of the property inaccurate? Was it not as clean as you like? Probably none of the above but I do not know because you did not say. Most likely it is because the home and furniture is quite dated. But these things are fully disclosed in the listing and it is very much reflected in our rates, often 50% cheaper then the houses down the road. The location is probably the best on the road and one of the best in all of Orange County California as noted in every review, including yours. I do not think you reviewed your stay accurately based on what was promised in our listing. We do thank you for leaving the home in such great condition. Much appreciated!
Our stay was awesome! The location is amazing and the house lived up to our hopes. So much so, that we are trying to book again asap.
The host was accessible, pleasant and made us feel very welcome. We highly recommend and are spreading the word to everyone we know.

My wife and rented this place to meet up with our daughters 19 & 23 for a long weekend. We wanted easy access to beaches and good surfing spots. The house felt very roomy with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and Hugh living area with kitchen facing the ocean. The owner was great to work with and communicated quickly. We will definitely consider renting again.

Thank you for the positive review Steven. We appreciate it!
This property suited us perfectly: The front patio fronting on the ocean, and a 1950's beach house that was fundamentally unchanged from when it was built. Nothing fancy, everything pretty basic, but remarkably functional. But, it's not for everyone. There are large rocks that need to be navigated to get to the beach (this grandmother had no trouble with that), the kitchen small. But the living area is quite spacious with basic but comfortable furnishings. And the things that mattered to us were in place: a fully stocked kitchen, boogie boards for adults, and beach toys for the kids, and a deck from which we could watch the kids frolicking in the waves. The owners were communicative throughout, honestly conveying the nature of the property to make certain it suited us. The photos clearly and accurately convey the property. We miss it already!
