We were pleased, what we saw in the listing is what we got. The home is well designed, built, equipped and maintained. The main & guest house layout worked for our group of 8 adults & 4 children under 4, with dining for all in the main house. Great internet. Itâs a full time rental - comfortable furniture & beds, all closets and drawers clear for renters, nice linens & towels, good consumables, professional cleaning, and plenty of trash & recycling capacity. The kitchens included all types of cooking gear needed for a week of meals and more glasses, cups, plates, bowls, cutlery and various serving pieces than we used in a day. Bedrooms were spacious with room for pack-n-plays, luggage, etc. Good instructions received in advance and at the property provided all we needed, and the owner responded reasonably promptly to our few inquiries.
We didnât know the location prior to arrival. We liked being near downtown but far enough away to avoid the crowds & traffic. This was one of the nicer homes on a quiet street with a mix of vacation homes and full-time residents/rentals including two 4-unit apartments. We felt safe during our stay. We didn't realize homes were on cliffs above the large beach; stairs a short walk away provided access. H101 freeway noise is a detraction at quiet times. If you're a light sleeper bring a white noise machine. With August weather (cool am/pm & warm afternoons) we were fine with no AC. For kids, a wonderful park nearby. Overall, a pleasant stay.
