The views from the living room and balconies are especially stunning, offering a nearly 180-degree view of the Pacific Ocean. The beds are nice and firm, the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and tools, and there are ample towels and toilet paper. We highly recommend this spot. ##### Beth W.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying right on the ocean and in a secluded area away from the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area. House is small, but worked perfectly for my husband and me, our 2 teenage boys and my mom. Plus our French bulldog! Kitchen well equipped even for our Thanksgiving feast. And little store 5 minutes down the road had nearly everything we needed. Beds very comfortable and lots of couch space for family movie night. Thank you Emily for bring a great host! ##### Jodi R.

We found this place online and decided to give it a try. We’re very happy that we did. It was enjoyable from the beginning. It was extremely well furnished and equipped with everything we could possibly need and then some. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was luxurious. The hot tub was very relaxing and looking out and watching the sunset from the hot tub was amazing. This place is just what we needed Thank you Emily! Lonnie and Carrie. ##### Lonnie H. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sally m. 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing! We’ve been renting homes at Irish Beach for over 15 years, and this is hands-down the best we’ve ever stayed in. The home was spotless, incredibly well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway. The views were absolutely stunning — we saw whales every evening from both the deck and inside the home! The binoculars provided were a thoughtful touch.The beds were super comfortable, the heated bathrooms were perfect for chilly nights, and we ended every evening relaxing in the hot tub. The fireplace made the living room feel extra cozy.The layout of the three bedrooms gave everyone their own space while still feeling connected. Very kid- and dog-friendly, which we really appreciated!As a chef, I was impressed by the quality of the kitchen cookware — a rare find in a rental! My husband loved the classic coffee maker, and I enjoyed the convenience of the K-cup option. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with.This home exceeded our expectations in every way. We’ll definitely be coming back! ##### sally m. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy J. 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property was exactly as listed. Spectacular views of the ocean wondrous stars at night. The whole setup was great for our family. The private beach is incredible — driftwood sculptures everywhere. Cuffey’s Cove, where our weekend events were held, was 15 minutes away. One caveat: this is remote country and gas stations are sparse. ##### Sandy J.
