Perfect tropical beach getaway

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 80 reviews2 months ago

This place worked well for us! However, if you are looking for beach access and/or ocean views - this is not the place. Since this place is located east of I-5, you are miles from the beach. And this place offers privacy, but absolutely no ocean views. It wasn't a deal-breaker for us but it may be for you.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviews2 weeks ago

This Airbnb was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how impeccably clean and well-organized everything was. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into every detail. The space felt like a perfect blend of comfort and style, with each item carefully chosen to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Jacqueline, the host, was absolutely wonderful. She was so warm and thoughtful, always quick to respond to any questions and went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed. Her kindness really made the stay feel personal and special. The location of the property couldn’t have been better, offering easy access to everything I wanted to explore, yet still offering a peaceful retreat when I returned. I honestly can’t wait to come back. This place exceeded all expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, thoughtfully curated stay with an amazing host.

We stayed for two nights at this beautiful house with an amazing view. Located on a hill, we were able to relax on the balcony while enjoying the sunrise, sunset, and stunning evening skies. The indoor jacuzzi with its large windows was also excellent. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and communication with the host was quick and smooth. There’s also a peaceful and beautiful hiking trail behind the house. We would love to stay here again.

Beach House | Walk to Bay | Patio & Open Living

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 70 reviews2 weeks ago

I booked this home for my stay during my daughters sorority mom’s weekend and it fit perfectly for our needs. I shared the home with one other mom and we were quite comfortable. We had a few other moms over for a happy hour and the front patio worked out perfectly for that. It was a very nice set up. We were in and out a lot attending events but each time we returned we were able to find parking spots right out front.
