Wonderful space for a small family gathering. The home is walking distance to the beach and shopping with easy freeway access. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and necessities and there were plenty of towels. Very clean and cozy in a quiet neighborhood.
Spotless home, pictures truly represent the home, but it feels smaller than it appears. Primary bedroom has no closet as it is locked for the home owners. We found that unfortunate. Highway noise at night if you leave the windows open for ventilation (no AC as typical of the area). Attentive home managers who quickly supplied an iron for us.
I was meeting my new daughter-in-law for the first time & I hadn’t seen my son in almost a year. They’re both in the Air Force. THEY hadn’t seen one another in 6 months; since they got married! It was great seeing them together; heart-filled moments! Thank you for making it possible!

Horrible stay from check-in till checkout
We started off on the wrong foot by not getting any communications about the check-in process. I had to reach out after an hour to VRBO as there was no response from the host. Also had tons of ants in multiple areas, especially bathrooms and once again, no remediation for this.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 April 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the rocky start to your stay and the communication issues you experienced during check-in — that is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
Our check-in process is designed with both safety and convenience in mind. An email is sent requesting completion of the check-in form, and once that is done, a door code is issued two hours before arrival. In the event of any issues, our customer service team is always available to assist and ensure a smooth experience.
We also regret the inconvenience caused by the ants. Due to the unusually heavy rains in December, the area experienced an increase in similar pest activity for a short time. Your comfort is extremely important to us, and we have since addressed the issue with our team to prevent it from happening again.
We truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, and we are using your feedback to improve our processes. If you’re open to it, we would love the opportunity to host you again and provide the experience you deserve.
Thank you again for your review.
