When issues developed with the house, the owners made sure to make things right and went above and beyond to save what would ultimately be my mother's last Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so thankful that we chose this house. ##### Carrie H.

The decor of the home is unique and right up our alley and a great location. There was plenty of room for all nine of us. All of the children loved the art room, and the four teenaged girls adored the hot tub.The only thing I would have liked is more and various sizes of cookware and bakeware. ##### Robert S.

The location is perfect, you have privacy but also are so close to anywhere you want to go whether it’s the wineries and other peninsula spots or downtown. The house was great and nicely decorated and more than enough room for 3 couples and a 10 month old baby. Communication was great, they left numbers to contact if we needed anything and got back right away. Great hot tub and fire pit area. And the private beach and kayaks were awesome. Wish we could have stayed longer and will be the first property we look in to stay at next time we come up! ##### Nick S.

The home is absolutely beautiful and well appointed with the basics of what you would need for a week. There was a welcome package waiting for us upon arrival which was an extra special touch. The house is off the main track of TC but very easily accessible to downtown within 10-15 minutes. We found that to be a nice blend of seclusion/privacy with access to the city. Given the mix of young and older ages for our guests, the owner worked with us well ahead of time to review our individual needs and what would be available within the home. A few accessibility comments: -The home is a 5-minute walk away from the beach via a relatively steep mixed cement/gravel driveway. We made the trip many times with our crew but the kids would not have been able to make the walk on their own or without assistance from the wagon/stroller. -The owner let me know prior to booking that there the wrought iron stairway is very steep and is in the middle of the main floor. We worked around this by bringing a gate to help block off the stairs. ##### Rachel E.

This home is not only beautifully decorated, but it is so relaxing, quiet and feels like home. Our family enjoyed every part of the "tree house". The hot tub and screened in porch were my favorite features, but the two living areas (one up and one down) with an open kitchen upstairs were so great! The location is very convenient to everything you need in TC. The beach access was also a wonderful addition, even if you had to walk a bit, it wasn't a big deal. Really truly one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in! ##### Katie B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ---
