"I spent 2 serene weeks here and hope to return some day! With modern creature comforts in the kitchen, the rest of this home is very rustic. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and are into drawing, cooking or reading books to the sounds of trees rustling and water flowing across the street, you will be in heaven here. For summer months, note that there is only a small portable AC unit in the sunroom. There are several fans and it was manageable in early summer, but I imagine it is quite...

"Comfortable house, not huge, but nicely decorated. Host was very quick to respond when I had trouble with door code. The only con for us was lack of handrails on steps to exterior doors (front and back). Otherwise a great place to stay."

"What a lovely apartment hidden away on a private street. It is very clean and well-kept, and extra attention is given to making sure guests have what they need. Communication with hosts was easy and straightforward. We were very pleased with our stay. "

"This is my third year staying at this property. I have friends that live around the area so it is a nice quiet private space to reconnect. Paul the host is always quick to respond to any concerns I may have while staying. My dog Angel is in heaven literally 5 steps to the water . The beach and people are so kind and friendly. Love it!"

"This VRBO was a pleasure! Host Olga was very accommodating. This was my first VRBO experience and I will definitely do this again. So much nicer than a hotel stay. It was a wonderful 5 days! I would highly recommend Olga and her California Cottage. "

"Very good place on the beach….and beach walking Paul communication was very timely"

"Everything was easy and fine at the space. I had to stay for family reasons - so "location" was the most important factor to me. The worst thing in the unit is that the spiral stair is narrow - and a fat person or person with bad knees is NOT going to be using that stairwell easily. Otherwise, the unit had everything I needed and was perfectly appointed for an easy weekend stay. Enjoy!"

"Great quiet neighborhood, but this is only part of the home (1st floor, basement, and part of the 2nd floor) and the people upstairs are stepping loudly late into the night. The 3rd bathroom is in the basement with no shower curtain and a shower head that must be held during your entire shower. It was the 1 room that was actually dirty and I cleaned it before we used it. Internet info was inaccurate but provided when we requested. TV instructions lacking. Plenty of room for hanging out and...

"We had family stay here, one set of family left early in the morning and another later. The owner, who lives in the basement, woke up those staying here on their last day at 4:30 in the morning attempting to get in the house thinking we all had left. Scared my family half to death! Check-out time was not honored. Awful stay with nosy owner creeping around everywhere!"
