This was a great place for family to reconnect. Close to the beach, Marianne’s ice cream. Older folks could sit on a bench at the beach and watch the waves while others walked. We also cooked a ton, and the kitchen supported a lot of activity feeding a good sized holiday crowd.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is just 2 short blocks from the beach. It was very clean and comfortable.

Great location. Cozy furnishings, top deck fire pit, deck off dining area, and indoor fireplace. Made it easy for beach week with grandkids. Only negatives are the road is very busy with folks going too fast. Internet was slow and garage is a tight in and out

Family Fun Just Steps from the OceanWe had a fantastic stay! The house was spotless, and everything worked perfectly. The location is unbeatable—just a two-minute walk to Rio Del Mar Beach. The hosts provided great beach amenities that made our time by the ocean so easy and enjoyable.The restaurant around the corner was wonderful and fit all eight of us, including four kids, with no problem. We also loved how convenient the location was, with quick access to shopping and the freeway.This rental was the perfect size for our group. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay.
