Lovely

What a fantastic time at this place from a location standpoint. Check in went smoothly and your right near the beach. My kids were in heaven. There were a few issues that were addressed incredibly timely, and I could not have been more pleased such as the firepit not working and need a new coffee pot. We would definitely stay here again.

Staycation

Location was pleasant and accommodations are set nice. The patio was a hit. The first night was great as there was no one occupying the upper levels. However, the second night the upper level did not adhere to the quiet time regulations. They were very loud until the wee hours of the night. The staff were attentive and helpful in the event that we needed anything or had a question.

Thank you, Julie! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location, the setup, and especially the patio. We’re also happy the team was helpful during your stay. We’re sorry to hear about the noise from the upper level on your second night—thank you for bringing that to our attention. Your feedback is appreciated, and we hope to welcome you back for a more peaceful experience.

Great beach getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the Sandy beach house! The host was attentive and responsive and the place was exactly as described.The location was amazing - we had a 30 second walk across the street to the beach! The patio was such a nice spot to hang out and relax. The neighborhood was lively but not too noisy.There was a small repair that needed to be done that the host discovered right before we got there. The host managed to get a handyman in and fixed the issue the day we arrived and graciously offered us some compensation without us even asking. They had some great recommendations for local food and entertainment (highly recommend Bear Flag Fish!) and were great about checking in on us without being overbearing!Overall great stat!

Terrible Unit for Families

Do not stay here if you want to relax. We were so excited to check off a bucket list item with three generations of our family and head to this beach house and spend time here on our off days of going to Disneyland. We traveled from the Midwest and were shocked to arrive with no parking options because the rental above took all the spaces. The rental above was also using what was supposed to be our private patio to park bikes, party and lay out. The smell and noise from the HUGE group above was evident immediately, but we tried to make the best of the situation. After two nights of no one sleeping due to late and loud parties we called the property manager. They didn't help. We called again and they promised to help, but didn't. We ended up having to leave and spend a ton of money finding another place we felt safe with our elderly parents and young children. This is not a family spot and the company will not help you. Do not make this mistake and rent this unit. It looks nothing like the pictures, and the unit is for high school kids looking to party near the beach. AvantStay and VRBO made promises to help, but in no way helped. We are out a ton of money because the property is misleading and they don't help fix the problem. I hate to write a review, but I don't want anyone else to suffer and miss out on an experience of a lifetime.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Shawn. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointment, as the experience you described is certainly not what we want for our guests. To clarify, we were informed that your early departure was due to a family emergency, and we received no communication during your stay regarding disturbances from other guests. Had we been made aware, we would have done everything in our power to address the situation and ensure your comfort. We only learned of these concerns after your departure. Your comments have been shared with our team for review, as we are committed to improving the guest experience. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
