This was our 3rd time staying at this location. Everything was as expected. Excellent location! Even better value! We love the patio, the dedicated parking space inside the gate, and the house is always well-stocked and perfect for our family of four. We will be back again!

This beach rental is absolutely amazing! You’re walking distance to everything and can hear the waves crashing from the rental. It is extremely relaxing and it’s a great rental to recharge yourself at. Everything was clean and well kept which was appreciated. This space is great for a couples getaway and to spend time with your family as well. I highly recommend you give yourself an opportunity to check this space out.

This was our second time staying here and we had a great time. This place works well for our family and we love the enclosed back patio space for the kids to play.

We loved staying here! The house had everything we needed. The private patio was perfect for little family bbq’s. The shops and restaurants are a quick 5 minute walk. We enjoyed walking into town after dinner to grab candy from the candy shop or balboa bars while watching the sun set. We didn’t want to leave.
