Great stay , beautiful home

Had everything we needed, was super clean and well appointed. The only issue we had was that the internet would drop at times, not sure this was in the owner's control so we didn't contact anyone about it. the house was gorgeous! Would stay there again.

Cardiff By the Sea Visit

The home was very well kept and all items for a four day stay were in place. True ocean view from top-deck and nice back yard. This was one of the best homes we've chosen over the years. Hope to come back. The owner communicated well. Thanks George! Matthew S.
