Whoa - book this place if you can

This is our second time renting this house because there is a lot of room for big families. We had our family reunion here again and it was perfect. The kitchen is small but really well equipped. The place is right across from the water and we saw whales from the deck. There are dolphins in the cove (see the pictures) you can see from the deck. We walked along the path that runs along the water. In one direction is the wharf, downtown and the Boardwalk. The other direction is very dramatic coastline and ends at the park where the butterflies winter-over. The location is perfect. Close to everything as described in the owners description. We went to Roaring Camp to see the Redwoods, we spent a day driving up the coast to the wind & kite surfing spot - I think it's called Waddell Creek. We rented segways and took the tour - so much fun. Best location, best house (I think there are 3 CalKing beds and the rest are queen size), and best family reunion. We will be back.

Absolutely Amazing

We stayed here with our family and did not want to leave. The views are gorgeous - the photos do not do justice. The layout of the house provides privacy for the kids, the adults and the grandparents to have space. The kitchen is a small galley kitchen which did not effect us because it is well equipped. The beds are amazing - 3 or 4 california king beds and the rest are queen size. Very nice. There was plenty of towels and games and books. We walked along West Cliff Drive every day. We saw whales from the deck. It was a wonderful family vacation. I hope we can go again soon!

We had such a nice time here. The location was great, house was so clean and well taken care of. Plenty of space for people to sleep and hang out. The beds were comfy. Only down side was that the kitchen was a little small. We'd stay there again!

What a great place!

We stayed here for our family reunion. The place is right across from the ocean, the stairs down to the beaches are within a block in either direction. They were not kidding about the views - especially upstairs and from the all glass deck. It is amazing. We spent one whole day on the deck while the grandkids went to the Boardwalk. Everything is really close - there is a great natural food market and a regular supermarket within 8 blocks. The park at the end of the road has monarchs in the fall but they were there . The walk on the path along the water is just gorgeous - about a 3-4 mile walk round trip. The other end of the same road is the Boardwalk, Wharf, Downtown, main beaches - pretty much everything. If you bring bikes - my kids brought theirs - you can bike all over the place. The house has a galley kitchen - has most of what you need. The beds are comfortable and there is bedding/towels for the number they advertise - 16. I think there is actually extra - especially towels. The back "suite" area is perfect for a family. It sleeps 6 by itself! It was just perfect for us and we are already talking about next year.

My family gathered at this beautiful home to celebrate a special birthday. After much research we all agree we chose the perfect location and home for our week together. We noticed minor issues when we arrived and Mary was immediately helpful. Our family needed lots of space because of small children and the bedroom and bathroom arrangements were perfect. The kitchen was well equipped. The dining area was wondeful and sat 7 adults and 4 little children comfortably. We appreciated being able to bring our dog, however, we found when he wasn't being walked he stayed outside in the enclosed patio or in his kennel 99% of the time. Listing was very accurate regarding location. Photos were representative of appearance. Property was very clean and maintained. Owner was very responsive with concerns. I would recommend this property to friends and family. We found the Bittersweet Bistro service, food and ambiance to be excellent. We enjoyed the Boardwalk and took a trip to Roaring Camp. Surfing, dog beach, bike riding, hiking, beaches and lots of fun and laughter were all part of our weeklong visit.
