A perfect location and amazing views from this cliffside property. Able to take walks down to the beach to a quiet cove to play with our dog twice a day. Comfortable beds, responsive host. Easy parking nice neighbors. Small but clean and well appointed bathrooms. Can’t wait to go back.

Thank you for the lovely review! I wanted my home to feel luxurious even though it is small. I got the best linens, pillow options (feather and firm) whimsical things around the house and I'm starting to add art. Just got the big Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's vintage art to go with the mid century theme. Hope you liked it! Lots of guests have reported seeing whales lately!

this house has a spectacular reveal as soon as you open the door. the unobstructed views of the ocean are breathtaking. in addition to the vast blue view you'll be surrounded by gorgeous succulents, blooms, hummingbirds, birdsong, sunlight, and the lull of the surf. i sleep better when i can hear the ocean. enchanting! and the host is great!

Beyond beautiful view! Just breath taking. Full amenities. Easy access. Good parking. Incredible home. Fun decor. Well maintained. Tons of quality towels, robes, blankets, soaps etc. The walk to the beach was a little more than we had hoped and was nerve racking with kids as it hugs Hwy 1 for part of it. The beach itself is beautiful and fun to explore. There are also a ton of other beaches with in a few minutes drive of the house. We hope to stay again someday.

We had an amazing experience from booking through our entire stay. The host is terrific and communicates right away. The home and the views are breathtaking. Very dog friendly. We slept so good listening to the ocean right below us. We only left the house to go for walks we were so cozy and comfortable, we were there 4 days. We made delicious meals, played games and just sat in such peace and serenity looking out the many windows for hours to the ocean below. We cannot wait to return, this place will nourish your soul.

July summer stay

This was our second time at the Cliff House and we had a wonderful time. We love this property because we can just unwind at the house or take multiple walks on the beach throughout the day. Our dogs love the property as well. The house has all the kitchen utensils you could possibly need for any cooking you want to do. We will definitely be back to the property.

Cliff House

The Cliff House is beautiful and the location was perfect for an extended weekend stay. There is close access to a very quiet beach that we loved and restaurants were only about a 15 min drive away. The views are truly breathtaking and it was wonderful waking up to the views and ocean sound. We will definitely be back. The extra perk is that the house is dog friendly!
