The house is spread out enough that we all had plenty of room to get comfortable and relax without feeling crowded. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and everything that we needed was a short walk or drive away. It is worth noting that the downstairs shower has a natural stone floor that is uneven by design. This was not a problem for our group, but someone with balance or mobility issues may struggle in the downstairs shower. We would absolutely stay here again. ##### Beth G.

Other vacation rentals say they sleep 10 but, someone is sleeping in the living room. This house had everything you could want or need. A full stocked kitchen with dishes, spices, coffee and appliances. Baby items, beach items. There are too many items to list. The backyard had tons of seating, tables and a hot tub.

Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen S. 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house is amazing. Well stocked with kitchen essentials. Beds are comfy. Plenty of room inside and the backyard is spacious. Helen is a wonderful host. She communicated quickly when I had a question. She let us check in early and check out a little late. The house is perfect for families or couples traveling together. ##### Karen S.

Our family has enjoyed several VRBO homes over the past several years & we all agree this was one of the BEST! Plenty of beautifully decorated space, inside & out, for the 10 of us. Plus, Helen, the owner, was a delight to communicate with before & throughout our stay. If ever heading back to SoCal, we would love to stay there again. Thanks so much to Helen & family ##### DL C.
