This is a cozy house with beautiful beach access on a lovely stretch of sand. House is well-appointed and somewhat remodeled, somewhat rustic, and dog friendly which was very important to us.

Beach house with amazing views

This property exceeded all our expectations. From the well appointed house with everything we could need, to the amazing views of east bay, and the beautiful beach. We capped off each night with s'mores by the campfire on the beach while we watched the sunset and then viewed the stars. To top it all off the owners were excellent to work with and accommodated all our requests. We'll definitely be back!

Relaxing beach home

What a great relaxing home to stay at on the bay. We had seven of us including three teenagers and we had plenty of space. The views from inside the home are amazing and even better on the deck and beach. It was nice having AC on the hot days we were there. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. We will certainly try to make it back to this home next summer.

Everything was great, however the house was musty when we arrived and any clothes hanging in closets retained the musty smell when arriving home. Suggest that air circulation be run even while the house is unoccupied to remove the musty odor.
