Amazing views

The cottage is as cute as described in the listing. The beds were comfortable and linens were lovely. The hot tub on the deck with an amazing view of the ocean. I enjoyed a hot bath in the soaking tub even though the power was out due to the storm. Although I didn't have electricity, the stove, fireplace, and hot water heater were all on gas. So, I was fine! The best part about being in the first bedroom was the view of the ocean. I stayed during some bad weather and was able to watch the storms roll in, watch the powerful waves, and listen to the roar of the surf all from the comfort of my bed! This is a wonderful cottage and property. I plan to return!

Comfy cottage in perfect location

We stayed here with our pup and it was the perfect cottage located on a bluff overlooking the water. The cottage is on a quiet road of Hwy 1 so there is no road noise whatsoever. Sunsets spectacular! All the immenities were as described and everything in working order with no issues. The house is also well equipped with google devices so we could stream/cast music easily. Internet also pretty speedy which was a nice surprise. Our pup enjoyed the fenced in yard and we enjoyed the backyard immenities and sunsets every night we were there. The copper soaking tub in the bathroom is a nice touch. We'd come back in a pinch!

Great location with beautiful views

We absolutely loved this rental! The house is on a very quiet street and the location is great and close to everything. The yard is huge and completely fenced in which was great for our dog. The house is on a bluff and the ocean views on the right and left are spectacular with scenic cliffs. Straight out the back you can watch the sunset and it was fun to watch the Pelicans fly right over head. There’s a picnic table, nice deck, BBQ, spa and fire pit. The inside of the house is great too. The beds were comfortable and the family room was nice with plenty of seating and great ocean views. We’ll definitely be back!

Short

A few annoyances: *A real estate agent showed up to show the house during our stay. I later found the property is for sale. *There is no latch or damper on the front screen door. There is also no screen for the back door. This makes for rather poor ventilation considering none of the windows open. *There was no way to light the fire pit. It requires a long propane lighter which was no available. **I gave five stars for communication with the property manager although we had none.
