Cute spot for 4 of us to have a long weekend exploring coastal scenery and trails. Not a lot of room for meal prep or lounging — 2 people would find it more spacious. No dishwasher in case that matters. Great communication From rental company.

This area of California is hard to find anything that is not severely over priced and not a value. This place was perfect for two. Beautiful kitchen. Plus close to everything. Are at Sam’s was super close.

We truly enjoyed our getaway. Your location was great for our intended quick walks to the beachfronts and great food. Thank you again for your flexibility, given my initial scheduling mishap.
