Great Place to Stay with Family or Good Friends.

The home was clean and well stocked. It was as I thought it would be from the pictures on VRBO. I was surprised to find it on the east side of Hwy 1 but it had a great view of the ocean and easy access to the beach. My wife and I hosted our kids and grand kids and we were all comfortable. Wonderful home. I would like to come back again.

Beautiful views

The views were incredible and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed cooking in and playing board games and relaxing in the hot tub. The ants were no joke, though, and while we did our best to keep them at bay they were pretty persistent. We'd stay again because the location was so fantastic and it is great for families.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Heinzer

Host profile image
Jon & Diane built their home in 1971 when their boys were 10 and 13. With 2 bedrooms, one bath and a loft, they entertained their friends and friends of kids through college. But when grand kids came along, they expanded it to accommodate three couples , 2 .5 bathrooms and 5 twins in the loft. They have lived at Irish Beach longer than in any other home. They love sharing it with others, some of whom have been renting since they were children, and now have children of their own.

Why they chose this property

They bought the lot in the fog, but knew the 6 miles of beach was fabulous, and the gated entry to the beach road would keep it pristine as it has. Amazed to see the lighthouse when they returned a month later, the beauty of the setting captured them and still holds them here.

What makes this property unique

Each day is unique, living close to nature and with all the wildlife, changing sea and sky and beach, always different and the stars at night putting everything in perspective. The fabulous restaurants and wineries and artists and shops and scenic Hwy 1 help too.
