This house lived up to its billing and then some. The view of the Pacific is just mesmerizing. The photos of the house in the listing do not try to oversell anything, they don't have to. The location is great, just minutes away from just about anything. The views are wonderful. And the house itself - as far as amenities, you'll have everything you need. Plenty of sheets and towels, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped with quality cookware, dishes, utensils, etc. The house is well furnished, with plenty of seating for dining and just relaxing. Nancy and Gary were exceptional hosts and gave us some great advice for shopping, site seeing, restaurants, and local natural areas for bird and wildlife viewing. Not to mention that they are just great people. We were there from mid-Sep to mid-Oct. On many a day we never left the house, sitting on the deck watching for whale spouts, which we saw on a regular basis. (Hint - bring your binoculars. What looks like a big splash with unaided eye may reveal a whale leaping out of the water or tail slapping when viewed with binoculars, or with the host's telescope on the deck.) We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and recommend it without hesitation.

It's a wonderful place to stay - being on the cliff overlooking the ocean and the lighthouse and the small beach - can't be beat. Gary and Nancy are perfect hosts - they were so kind and thoughtful. Truly an incredible month in a great place.

Great Thanksgiving At the Beach

The home is beautiful and the views of the ocean from the bluff are spectacular. Nancy and Gary are warm and welcoming. The 4 star rating on cleanliness is due to there having been a lot of clutter in the bathrooms. The showers were full of open/unused product and the bathroom drawers were equally filled with opened toothpaste, partially used bars of soap, used disposable razors, tooth brushes etc. We booked the house for an entire week and hoped to be able to easily unpack and utilize bathroom space. We had to clear things out to do that. Same for the kitchen. A lot of opened/paritally used items in the fridge, limited pantry space due to the same. The 4 stars on location is due to the fact that the house is located just off the busy highway, which is convenient for driving, but the highway has heavy traffic at times and does not have much of a shoulder, sidewalks or paths. Thus, to the extent you want to leave the house to go to areas where beach access if available, the hiking trails, nearby coffee, etc. you really have to drive. Walking (especially with children) is really not easy or enjoyable.

Breathtaking Views

The property is immaculate and the views can not be described. The house has more than enough room and extra amenities as in steam shower, massage chair and gas fireplace! The owners stayed in contact welcomed us with a personal sign and recommended numerous local restaurants. The experience could not have been better. Well if we would have been able to stay longer perhaps!
