Bigger in person. Great place for families. So helpful having the upstairs apartment. Only feedback is to update the queen beds, sheets and towels.

This is our 2nd time staying here as a family. Already booked our 3rd. The layout works well for our family of 8. Outside shower is good to have. AC is a great benefit. It’s the little things they do that makes the house great…great garage, air compressor, fireplace outside, tankless water heaters, good kitchen with everything you need. Fast, fast responsiveness from the host.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pirate House - two parents, a 6 year old, a 3.5 year old, and a grandma. Communication was quick and easy with the hosts. Check-in was a breeze. The house is exactly as described. Better than described, actually. They were depleted in some essential supplies (e.g. sponges, toilet paper, laundry detergent), but there are 2+ supermarkets nearby. We wanted to buy food anyway! And the kitchen appliances are modern and easy to use. We didn’t use the grill or the outdoor fireplace, but they looked nice. The house was clean with fresh linens and plenty of towels. There’s a huge smart tv in the comfortable living room. There are board games for different ages, though no toys for our aged kids (we brought some). The beds are comfortable. There’s a bunk bed trundle combo in one room that could fit 4 kids or three adults. The bathroom has a big tub which was fun for the kids and relaxing for the adults (we couldn’t get the jets to work but it was still great) and a separate shower with strong water pressure. The outdoor shower was awesome when we returned, sandy from the beach. The AC worked well and was lifesaver since it was 85+ everyday. The washer/dryer are big and new and worked well. The house is even more conveniently located than I expected. It’s a very short, safe (no major roads) walk to the beach and right next to a lifeguard stand. We went every morning at least. The garage is spacious and not having to navigate street parking is very convenient. It’s less than 5 minutes from PCH (hwy 1) and Newport Blvd (Hwy 55) which makes getting around very easy and quick. We went to other beaches, south Orange County, San Diego, and LAX. It’s very easy to get food delivered (we used ubereats a lot). Oh I almost forgot the upstairs cottage where grandma stayed. It’s larger than expected. Would be very comfortable for a couple and you could have someone over for a meal bc the living room is spacious. It didn’t seem to be recently renovated like the downstairs. The tv wasn’t as nice and we had trouble turning it on (worked once but not again?) and the air conditioning window unit was very loud and didn’t cool that well on the hotter days. We didn’t use the kitchen or spend much time up there bc the downstairs was our “main house”, so I can’t comment on all the amenities. But you could definitely use it as an extra bedroom like we did, or a separate apartment. All in all we loved the house and had a great trip! Ahoy!
