The host was wonderful and came in and checked on us when we arrived. The home is thoughtfully stocked with all you need for cooking and going to the beach. There is a high chair and a pack and play for little ones as well as toys, board games and dvds. The home is located close to the Harbour and walking distance to multiple restaurants and stores. The neighborhood is also great for an afternoon walk and the parking was good too. We would love to stay here again in the future it was a perfect little get away. Thank you Bob and Robin for having ya in your beautiful home. ##### Tala h. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becca M. Feb 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Cottage Style in Excellent Location My husband and I were vacationing with our son, daughter inlaw and sweet 7 month old granddaughter. We could not have asked for a better location - for us a 5 minute walk to our son and his families home, close to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. My husband and I walked to the harbor every morning- the perfect way to start the day!! This little home had everything you could want and more!! We would love to come back and make this our home away from home!! With family there it was PERFECT!! Everything in this home is spot on and immaculate!!! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay!!Great quick fun food - the Shwack Beach Grill. Awesome tacos! A special night out was the Chart House with the best views of the marina and ocean from the top of the cliff. ##### Becca M.

We loved how clean the place was when we arrived. It was so well organized and easy to find things. The white beach decor made it so inviting and relaxing. We loved the porch and hot tub in the backyard. The kitchen had nice amenities and everything seemed brand new. The place was so relaxing and wonderful! We like the area where we were. It was easy to get to places, especially the beach. We went to the Doheny Beach on the first day, but then were told about Salt Creek Beach and stayed there most of the week. We loved Jimmy's American Tavern. The property amenities were great. I don't think I would change anything. We loved access to the hot tub. Bathrooms were great and all of the beds were so comfortable. The remotes tripped us up a little bit, but we figured it out. Beachside were great. When we wanted to extend our stay for one additional night, it was very easy. The email communication was perfect. The binder was very helpful. Wow! We were just so impressed with this property. We would love to rent again. We had the best vacation we've had in long time! Thank you!!! ##### Jamie B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob J.
