Lovely home with a spectacular view. We were three couples, so it was wonderful that everyone got their own king size bed and full bathroom. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. The property manager, Amanda, was always very responsive. We all enjoyed our stay very much.

The views are amazing and the balcony is the perfect spot for coffee or a glass of wine. We used all four bedrooms and bathrooms - the house was plenty big enough for our whole family. The access to the beach and walking paths along the ocean made this a five star experience. Thank you!

Beautiful house and the location is unbeatable! The views are even more breathtaking in person, especially from the upper levels. There were so many amenities available like bikes and boogie boards and kayaks, and even though we didn’t get to take advantage of all of them I really appreciate that they were offered. We will absolutely return to this gorgeous place.

Our second stay in this Westcliff sea-front house, a real gem. Amazing ocean views and never a shortage of things to watch from the windows/balcony – natural and human! Really well laid out, genuine family holiday home, well-equipped kitchen. Great communication and easy check-in. We hope to come back for a third time!

We’ve visited here at least 5 times over the years. Love the view and everything about the property. Close driving distance to the pier, downtown, and even Capitola. Walking distance to Natural Bridges State Park and Lighthouse Point. You can see otters, seals, and an innumerable number of pelicans from the windows and from the deck. We hope to be back soon!

The property is in a beautiful location. It offers great amenities, there was nothing else we could have asked for. The setup works really well for friends or family with two living rooms and as many bathrooms as bedrooms. The views from the upstairs balcony were amazing! The property manager was responsive and extremely helpful. I would rent again for any getaway.

This is a gorgeous home and location, and we had a wonderful time. Everything was smooth from booking to arrival and for our entire stay. The house is well-appointed and the views are stunning. We watched sunrise and sunset, and enjoyed seeing birds and otters. We hope to return! We appreciated it all.

Overall a very nice place. Lots of room for 5 people. Nice, new and clean bathrooms. There were some ants on kitchen counters and it took a few days to get rid of them. It would also be nice if they had screens on windows that opened. There were some moths and some other bugs that would fly in. Great view and good location to things.

Absolutely lovely location. The house and kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The layout was ideal as each bedroom has privacy and each couple had their own bathroom. The mattresses were comfortable in every room. We were in town for our daughters wedding and the house was a perfect home base for our family.
We brought our bikes but the house had plenty
Coffee with a view

This is a wonderful home with an exceptional view! The hosts were excellent and easy to communicate with. The home was very well set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay for 8 people. There was plenty of seating. The bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked with everything we needed and even some thoughtful extras that weren’t necessarily needed but very nice to have on hand. This felt like an incredible home away from home. I would 10/10 recommend this rental, and we have even started discussing our next visit as a family.

Fantastic Vacation

This beautiful home is exactly as advertised and sitting in the living room looking out at surfers and hearing the waves crash was amazing. We had a tremendous family vacation here and will definitely return. Also - the owner and property manager were incredibly responsive and kind.
