Golfing Getaway

How wonderful it was to be on the coast! The house is walking distance to the beach and a quick drive to Seascape golf! The layout of the house offered privacy for the 3 of us and the kitchen was quite well stocked with pots, pans, toaster, etc. to make meals. The neighborhood is tight and we did hear some partying but nothing that kept us up. Overall, it was a fabulous stay! Thank you David!

Margaritaville

It has a great tropical feel with privacy. My family loved how comfortable the 3 level home was, with the kids having there own private area. We love walking five minutes to and from the beach and local restaurants it was very convenient. The Margaritaville sign inspired us to go there for our first night and was a lot of fun.

Perfect Thanksgiving

Staying at this property was perfect. My family lives close by so it was the perfect sport for our thanksgiving/my birthday dinner. The house had plenty for the kids to play with and a well stocked cabinet of pans for cooking dinner. It was also nice to have the battery operated candles since the storm made the power go out the first night.

Hidden gem

On a quiet court this little gem hides. It's max 10min (with kids!) to the beach and has a lovely deck for when you get back. It's fully stocked with all that you could possibly need (including toys for kids). We had an amazing time here and would highly recommend anyone else needing a getaway to check this one out.

Really relaxing and easy

The house was very welcoming - comfortably furnished, well-stocked with cooking supplies, with generous congregation spaces both outside and inside and amenably sized room. The location of the house was the best - within a few minutes walk of the beach, and the beach had a long expanse for walking; and within a short drive of hiking and other activities. We loved it. And the manager was great.

Spacious comfy quiet beach house

Lovely home 5-10 min walk from the beach. We really appreciated the warm private outdoor shower and the kids toys. Fresh linens and extra cozy blankets, variety of mattresses and pillows to suit everyone’s preferences. Well equipped kitchen and excellent communication and hospitality. Very clean but one guest had trouble with their very sensitive dust allergies with all the silk plants.

Beautiful home near beach

This home is quite nice - 3 bedrooms, adequately furnished and we had everything we needed. House doesn't have view of beach and is more than "steps away," but still pretty close to walk to. We liked the area - close to Monterey and Carmel. Only thing I would say needs to be improved is to get a new door lock! A regular lock with a code would seem to be much easier than having to send instructions by you tube. Also maybe just a list of what to do when you check out instead of all the monetary threats would have been nice - these are minor complaints - all in all I would recommend this house to others.
