Mack’s shack was the perfect place for our little beach getaway. Communication with the host was easy, check in was smooth, and the location was great! Being right on the beach was a huge plus, and the vacation rental having beach towels, chairs and umbrella made going to the beach a breeze! Overall, this place is amazing and we will be booking again in the future!

My stay was absolutely amazing! The view is so stunning and the whole beach is truly beautiful. The hot tub and pool overlooking the ocean were great, too. It’s such a quiet and peaceful place - truly paradise. Tons of great restaurants around. Excellent communication with the host. I am dying to go back!
Perfect location for spending all day relaxing on the beach. Definitely more of a locals beach, so not very busy on the week days. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. This condo is extremely comfortable and the views are incredible! We plan to stay here again next time we vacation in Southern Cali…
Our 2nd week-long stay within the year! There is everything to love about this condo!! The nicest vrbo we have ever stayed in. It's a 1st class act all the way. Go on and treat yourself. You deserve it ! Surround yourself with an awesome decor and priceless ocean views.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The ocean views whether outside on the balcony or inside in the living room were lovely. The rental was comfortable, clean, and well equipped
Wow - simply beautiful. Walking into the front part of this condo and seeing that view is breathtaking! Comfy bedroom too. Very serene and in a great area.
Location, location!! We so enjoyed the 180 degree ocean view. The property was clean, as described and stocked with everything we needed for a week stay. Communication with Scott was excellent, he responded quickly to any questions we had
Well-appointed condo in a laid-back, quiet complex. Parking was super convenient to unit. Oceanfront Pool and Spa. Stairs to beach was right next to property, which is not so common in this area. We've stayed at many VRBO ocean-front rentals from Leucadia to Del Mar and this was one of our favorites. Scott, the host, was also top-notch with his communication and efforts to make our stay the best possible. We stay at VRBO properties in various parts of world, so know how important a good host is. We look forward to returning!
We are retired snowbirds that feel very grateful we found this Vrbo. If offers a wonderful 24/7 view of the Pacific Ocean. Has comfortable furniture, has a well stocked kitchen. Cozy location at the end of the condo complex which meant plenty of privacy. Spacious bedroom. Lots of bedroom furniture, cedar closet for our things. Easy parking easy few steps to door if that's a concern.
Already going back next winter!
Terrific condo for 2 people. Everything you need is here. Floor to ceiling windows provide a breath-taking view of the ocean. We walked 10 miles everyday on the beach. You won't regret staying at this lovely unit.
Hi Scott,
The Mack Shack is overall wonderful … cleanliness, the condo layout and location, the condo is outfitted with everything anyone would need, the kitchen had everything a cook needs along with nice dishes and great glasswares.
The view is fantastic and the beach is as well … saw a few seals and a bunch of dolphins.
No problem finding good restaurants close by.
I highly recommend to anyone seeking some great time away.
Thanks much - we really enjoyed,
Dick and Karin
We enjoyed our beach vacation despite the rain and cold because we had the view from the perfectly placed chair by the window. Kitchen was well equipped and we used it. Comfortable bed and furniture. We enjoyed exploring the small beach community. Walking distance to great cafes and shops.
Scott was an amazing host. His place was the perfect place to stay. The view couldn't be better. It was quiet and a very comfortable and clean place to stay. It was a great trip from start to finish. The wild life we saw just made the trip even better. We will be back for sure!! We loved it!! Thank you Scott, you were a great host!
First of all, the host is amazing. Excellent communication, easy check in and out. The condo is spacious and comfortable,. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach and had some excellent meals at the local restaurants. 10 STARS. we will be back!
We wanted a condo on the water to rest and unwind. We got it in spades! Couldn’t ask for a better location or view. Fabulous sunsets. The unit was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Everything we needed was on hand. Overall an excellent experience.
Fabulous condo. High quality renovation, comfortable, spacious for a 1 bedroom. Nice attention to details, thoughtfully supplied with anything you could possibly need. Location could not be better. Breathtaking views of the ocean, surfers and sunsets. Easy walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, bookstore, galleries. Host great to work with. Easy in and out. We will be back.

About the host
Hosted by Scott MacKinnon
Born and raised in Southern California and live 20 minutes away in Elfin Forest. Love the beach!
Why they chose this property
Love the view and watching sunsets with a glass of wine. The beach below is less crowded than most beaches and there is surf right out front. Literally miles to walk on the beach. The place itself is beautifully decorated and completely furnished. Very comfortable bed with Beautyrest pillows.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful view from balcony with comfy chairs--beach below provides long walks on the sand--walk on the beach to Fletcher Cove (half mile) and enjoy the restaurants and bars there.
