We spent a wonderful week in this great house, which is exactly as pictured and described. The setup is perfect for large groups, and we were very comfortable. We had 5 adults and 2 babies in the main house, and 2 adults, 2 small children and a dog in the cottage behind. Between the two houses is a small lawn with outdoor sectional, gas grill and picnic table, where we enjoyed several meals. Both houses were immaculate, very nicely decorated, and with well stocked kitchens. The screened porch of the main house was great for breakfast and lounging, as it is shaded and always had a nice breeze. The location is on a fairly quiet block, with a 2-block walk to the ocean, including a careful crossing of the Coastal Highway on a crosswalk with blinking caution lights. Included in the rental is the setup each morning of a beach umbrella and two chairs. Additional beach chairs, toys and boogie boards, etc. are also provided. The owner, Maria was very clear in her communications and very responsive when we had difficulties understanding how front door lock worked. We highly recommend this rental.
