Location, location, location.

My sister and brother-in-law have a place four blocks away. They have a toddler, and a six month old. I'm middled aged and I brought my senior parents to stay in this rental with me. Being able to walk such a short distance back and forth between houses was invaluable. My sister brought the kids over every morning to watch Bluey and play in the hot tub. The three month old said he wanted to live there. We made use of the bunkbeds and had a slumber party one night. My mother is very ill and both my parents really needed this trip and I believe it was truly healing. Everyone is super happy. Plenty of parking; very little traffic by the house. Very close to the beach, and the garage came equipped with umbrellas, chairs, and lots of toys. My family will be staying at this house again and we're already discussing when that will be. Great house, great host, great neighborhood to leave your car and walk places. This vrbo was cheaper than renting a room for my parents and myself at the Sea and Sand Inn, and I much prefer where we stayed. I will recommend renting this house to my friends and family.

Wonderful Home

We really loved our stay here, and wish we could have stayed longer! Super easy walk to the beach, Crow's Nest, and cafes. Really cozy, clean, airy home + super easy communication with the owner. Especially loved watching the sunset in the gorgeous back yard.

Great location

We had such a great time at this gem! It fit our two families well (including 4 pre-teen and teen girls). Close proximity to the beach and not far from downtown or any needed grocery stores. We would definitely recommend it!

Great spot for a family vacation

We had an amazing time. Place was well furnished and stocked with everything our family needed to head to the beach and cook a few meals in house. Close to everything- walkable to one beach and a few food places, but a car opens up a lot more of surrounding beaches and towns. Highly recommend!

Excellent spring break for ages 5-7

We had a fantastic spring break. This house was perfect for two couples and three kids. We were able to walk to the beach, to brunch, a playground, bike to the beach and Arana Gulch, walk to happy hour at Crow’s Nest, BBQ on the patio, hot tub, and more. What a great house, neighborhood and experience! Thanks, we will be back.
