We absolutely fell in love with the property. The indoor- outdoor living area with the open doors was fabulous! We had excellent communication with owners/management. It was perfect for our large party! We plan to come back!

The property is a little run down. The sliding doors to the property didn’t lock which was a little concerning since we were gone most of the days. We appreciated the parking available because it would have been a nightmare to find parking!

Brenda, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad the available parking was a helpful convenience, especially given how challenging parking can be in the area. We’re sorry to hear the property felt a little run down and, more importantly, that you experienced an issue with the sliding door lock. We understand your concern regarding the security of the home while you were away. We encourage guests to bring any maintenance concerns to our attention in real time so we have the opportunity to address them promptly during the stay. We appreciate you letting us know about the door and will share this with our maintenance team for review. Thank you again for staying with us and for your feedback.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Excellent location and views, but disappointing property.The location and views were the highlights of our stay. However, the listing described the property as a “house” without disclosing that it had been divided into two separate rental units. Another group stayed directly above us, with their balcony and nighttime lights overlooking our patio. Had we known we were booking one of two units rather than a fully private house, we would not have booked it.The property was worn, dated, and in need of significant updating, with an largely unlandscaped outdoor area. We also experienced an ongoing ant problem, patio doors that did not lock properly, and a microwave that occasionally sparked and crackled. These issues had apparently been reported by previous guests but remained unresolved.Communication was also disappointing: the Wi-Fi response took several hours, and we received no response about the microwave. Despite the excellent location and views, the undisclosed two-unit setup, property condition, unresolved maintenance issues, and delayed communication made this a disappointing stay.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the excellent location and views, but we’re sorry the overall experience did not meet your expectations. The listing did disclose that the property was part of a duplex; however, we understand that the layout may not have been as clear as it could have been. We have since edited the listing to make it more explicit that guests are renting the bottom unit of the duplex, rather than the entire property. We’re also sorry for the maintenance concerns and any delays in communication during your stay. We take this feedback seriously and will be sharing it with our team for review. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and helping us improve the experience for future guests.

Thank you for your review. We’re very glad to hear that you found everything else about the home amazing. We’re sorry to hear that the master bedroom did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of any concerns with the room during your stay. Had we been notified, our team would have been happy to look into the issue right away and do our best to assist. Guests typically love the master bedroom complete with a balcony, en suite bath, and fireplace. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again for an even better experience next time.

The home was very clean, had plenty of kitchen utensils, bath and beach towels, and bedding. The views were incredible and more than enough space to accommodate two families of 4. Plenty of showers and good water pressure. The location was close to good restaurants and Legoland. It was missing small supplies one would expect when staying in a home like paper or kitchen towels for cleaning up after meals and cooking. Also, the bathrooms were somewhat outdated but functional. All in all, a great home and would stay at again.

Thank you for your thoughtful review Kris! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the incredible views, spacious layout, and convenient location. It’s great to know the home worked well for your group and that you found it clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils, towels, and bedding. We appreciate your feedback regarding the supplies. For your convenience, we provide a starter kit of essential items to get your stay off to a comfortable start. This includes a small supply of dishwashing pods, laundry pods, paper towels, tissues, and toilet paper. These items are provided as a courtesy and are not intended to last for the entire duration of a stay, so guests may wish to bring or purchase additional supplies as needed. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the bathrooms. We’re always evaluating areas of the home for future updates and improvements, and guest feedback like yours is very helpful. Thank you again for staying with us. We’re glad to hear you had a great stay overall and would love the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We had a nice stay overall, and the view was truly phenomenal—the highlight of the property and a wonderful feature for enjoying time outside.There are a few things future guests may want to know. We experienced ants throughout the weekend. The property manager responded promptly and sent someone to treat the issue, but the solution was temporary. We ultimately stored all food in the refrigerator, including items like potato chips.The property layout is somewhat unusual. We understood there were two units, but it was not initially clear that our reservation included only one. The other unit’s balcony is directly above this unit’s terrace, so the guests felt very close when we were outside. The second and third floors are also shared, and soundproofing is limited, making it easy to hear the other family when both units are occupied.The listing photos also appear dated. The house has an older, more lived-in feel than the photos suggest, and the bathrooms could use updating. With a larger group, only one or two people can comfortably shower at a time.The location and view are spectacular, and we appreciated the property manager’s responsiveness. Updated photos and clearer information about the shared spaces and layout would help future guests set expectations.

For a large party like ours could have used bigger fry pans, had no cookie sheets even though there was a label for cookie sheets. The barbecue grill needs repair. The right side of grill barely got hot and no igniter switch. Ice maker in frig did not work and had to make ice in an ice maker which was never mentioned. Did not expect this for the price we paid. The rooms were just what we needed and back patio was large and nice sitting areas.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review Sandy. We’re so glad to hear the home was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the spacious rooms and large back patio. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the kitchen cookware and baking supplies and will share them with our team. We also apologize for the inconvenience with the barbecue grill and have since addressed those issues. Regarding the refrigerator, we would like to clarify that the built-in ice maker is not connected due to the corrosive effects of the salty ocean air. To ensure guests still have plenty of ice, we provide a countertop ice maker as an alternative. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to improve and hope to welcome you back for another great stay in the future!

We had a wonderful visit! The rental was pretty basic on supplies, sheets, bedding. (only the queen sized beds have comforters, the others are all polyester feeling "quilts") But, the price reflects that. The kitchen is missing cookie sheets and the grill has a broken ignition, a broken knob and is really small for the unit capacity. Awesome news is that they provide on site back up propane tanks! The bedroom with the twin trundle was a surprise. It does not have enough floor space to have both beds out and close the door because it is so tight. There is also NOT DIRECT BEACH ACCESS. This is noted in a review in the listing and addressed. However, if you do not read all of the reviews, it is easy to miss. The walk to Beacon's Beach is convenient. It is a small, intimate surfing community.The dining and seating spaces were adequate and the hot tub was a real hit for our party. We enjoyed walks to coffee, a local market, and several good restaurants.The customer service was on point with efficient responses and easy clean/check out procedures.
