Beautiful home, beautiful beach! Many wonderful memories made with our extended family. We enjoyed the privacy of this location and were blessed with a sunny week and abundant wildlife sightings. Were experienced a few hiccups with the property that we would not expect for the rental price of this home, but the management company was responsive.

We had a wonderful family vacation!! Mar Vista met all of our needs, and the location was great. We felt like we had our own slice of the beach. We are looking forward to returning!

This is the spot!
Very accommodating. Plenty of rooms and space for kids too. Easy access to beach and heated pool make this place a must. Need another refrigerator and breakers pop from time to time. 7 full bathrooms and 6 rooms with king beds make this place a must rent. Will be back, often.

Thanksgiving Memories
Our family of 13 including Great Grandma, Grandparents, Parents, kiddos, Aunt and Uncles had a wonderful time at this home. Plenty of room and wonderful ocean views. This was our first trip that numerous of times we wished it did not have to end. Would definitely recommend this home in the future.

Awesome rental!
We had a great vacation! Family included seniors, adults, teen and 10 year old. Property worked great for all. Had everything we needed. Proximity to the ocean was wonderful! Weather was rainy while we were there but just sitting on the decks and enjoying the waves was great! Saw several dolphins. Granddaughter found several seashells. Only suggestion might be a light by the grill area. With the time change it was pretty dark there for dinner prep.

Fantastic home
This kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I've ever experienced in a rental situation. We didn't need any of the appliances and utensils we brought ourselves. House is in a great location. Everything was super clean and super easy access to the beach. Vacasa really took care of us when the other place we rented had a maintenance issue. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Home with Opportunity
Overall this home is really nice and the views are amazing. Only downside of this is home is the main living area. It’s time for the couch covers to be thrown away. They are in terrible shape. I feel an improvement in this area will really take this home to the next level.

The house itself was very nice. Great layout and view. However, we had issues all week with property management (Vacasa) No AC on main floor the first day. Also, no hot water in kitchen and barley warm in some bathrooms. The dishwasher kept popping the breaker. Clearly there is an electrical issue. We reported this to Vacasa numerous times. AC was repaired but still no hot water or dishwasher on our departure date. The house was great but the lack of concern from Vacasa was VERY disappointing. I would recommend the house should the owner change the property management company.
