We had a great time, the place was right on the sand and the view was amazing. Rained a good deal of the time but we still had a great time. Couldn't ask for a better place to watch the rain and waves

Reviewer Comments:
We had to purchase a $300.00 Tempur-pedic mattress topper because the bed was so hard. We left it as it did not fit in our car. (Hopefully you continue to use it). We had 3 issues with people coming on the sea wall/deck late at night. First time in all the years staying here, that this has happened. We did not feel safe. There is no security for homeowners/renters. Sheriffs dept. does not come out when called. We have loved staying here for over 25 years. COVID stopped us from staying the last couple of years. We always come a couple times a year and stay at least 2 weeks. We respect the home as if it was ours. Safety is a huge concern. Being woken up in the middle of the night by 5 guys sitting on your deck and running up and down the wall is concerning. Hopefully you will address our concerns.As always, we love your home and appreciate you sharing it. Respectfully Richard and Kathleen Kettmann

When you open the door and walk in to that view of the bay you know you made the right choice.This was a very easy vacation. The house was stocked better than expected and all of the appliances all worked well.The Cheshire Rio staff made every step of the process easy. They were friendly knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with. When we return to this area for a vacation we will defiantly will be working with Cheshire Rio.

There is nothing better than spending a week right on the beach! We lived on the expansive deck gazing out at the ocean. We saw dolphins, seals and porpoises. We loved the ease of beach access; just dropping the ladder down for long walks on the beach, to play bocce ball, play in the waves and boogie board. We’ve now stayed in six different homes on Via Gaviota and this one is our favorite! The view from the main living space is incomparable; you can see the entire bay, both north and south. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need (though Door-Dash or take out at Aptos St. BBQ are great options when you don’t want to cook). The layout with two separate masters and two rooms with twin beds is great. We left the house to hike at nearby Nisene Marks State Park one day to realize that it didn’t get much better than just being at the ocean.

Older but impeccably maintained oceanfront home. What it lacks in charm/decor is more than made up for by the sound of the surf and easy access (by ladder) to the sand.
