Andreia was an excellent host. Plenty of timely communication and willing to accommodate my needs and changes to my reservation upon request. The house was beautiful and everything was clean and working well. My only gripe is the hot tub did not work, but they were apologetic and I’m sure will get it fixed for the next guest so I don’t hold it against them when it comes to my rating of the place. Big comfortable house, beautiful views, 10/10 would stay again.

We loved the place it was just disappointing that when we walked in the windows were dirty which made the view less impressive. I looked for window cleaner but couldn’t find any. I understand that because of the climate it’s a challenge to keep the windows clean but when you have someone coming in it would be great that at least the windows with a view were cleaned that day especially for what we paid . But in spite of that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the decor and kitchen was easy to use. We would rent it again but I will bring my window cleaner .

The view from the top floor was simply spectacular. 180 degrees of gorgeous California coastline. Even on the rainy days when we didn’t want to be outside, you could sit in the living room by the windows or be cooking in the kitchen and really feel in the midst of extraordinary beauty. Also, they had a wonderfully equipped kitchen. We did lots of cooking and it had everything we needed.
