The house was clean. It was well appointed and tastefully decorated. The kitchen had everything you need. I requested an air fryer and Scott provided us with one. The view from the balcony is breath taking. One of the best sunsets I have ever seen. Lots of extra towels, and even paper towels and toilet paper were provided. Tv in every room. Our reunion group really enjoyed our stay.

This is a beautiful home and property. The photos can't do it justice. It accommodated our immediate family (21 people) nicely. We range from 10 months old to 68 years old and everybody loved it. The home is set up with multiple beds in most of the bedrooms, which is perfect for young families. There are places to gather and places to relax privately. I'm a pool snob, but the pool was very clean and the water well balanced. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need for any meal. I messaged ahead and asked about an espresso machine. Scott replied that there wasn't one in the house, then went and purchased one. We have rented 6-8 big houses in the western United States and this one is hands down the nicest one. I hope to bring the family back next year. I also need to mention that the host (Scott) is very responsive. We didn't have any problems, but I did have a few questions.
Sunset from the upstairs patio area. My favorite place.

The home is beautiful and huge, so many places to just “get away” by yourself or someone else. It’s very clean and supplied with so many necessities that will save you a lot of grocery shopping money if you stop to check the home before shopping. The location is great for shopping and restaurants and even the airport is only about 20 minutes away. The pool, hot tub and large grass lawn are wonderful. It’s the perfect home for family or friends reunion. And Scott is wonderful, answers texts within minutes!

Spectacular house

We were three generations: two grandparents, three married children & their spouses, six grandchildren. The house is huge & has great separation of spaces over multiple levels. We could be together when we wanted & not when we didn't. The architecture is extremely interesting. There are a number of porches & patios, lovely places to read quietly with a drink & feel the breeze. Walking through the front door, you are in a covered courtyard with one open side leading down a few steps to a partially enclosed atrium, a great place to admire the sunset or relax in the night breeze. There are many stairs in the house (two long staircases, one medium, five short) plus a number of steps down to the pool, so it's a house for active people.The large swimming pool plus hot tub was extremely popular & there are a ton of pool toys, etc. The large kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, appliances, etc., & a huge double-door refrigerator freezer. My daughter especially loved the excellent blender. :-) The washer & dryer were very handy. The house is well stocked with various supplies. There is a walk-in pantry with all sorts of serving dishes, supplies, basic food stuffs left by other guests, etc. Our host responded quickly to questions I could go on & on. Two things to know: no stores are within walking distance & the master suite windows have no shades so morning light comes in (not a privacy issue because no one can see in; just a light issue).

Wow! Thank you, Scott!!

This home exceeded all our expectations. Scott was an outstanding host—responsive, welcoming, and everything was exactly as described. We’ve never stayed in a rental with so much space. The layout was thoughtful, the rooms were plentiful and comfortable, and the entire property was impeccably maintained.The highlight for us was definitely the pool and hot tub. The pool was surprisingly large—much bigger than we expected—and quickly became the centerpiece of our stay. We used it every single day and loved every minute.

Family vacation

We recently stayed at this property and had a wonderful time. It’s large and our multi-generational family (ages 7-70) loved it. The views were beautiful, the gourmet kitchen a delight, plenty of different living areas with tv’s where the kids watched shows and adults watched baseball and golf, a large pool and hot tub, beautiful grounds, etc. My personal favorite area was the balcony where a nice breeze kept you cool while reading, watching the kids in the pool or enjoying the view with a glass of wine!

Awesome house, fully apportioned. We had everything we needed…fully stocked pantry. Kitchen had gadgets and appliances we needed to make full meals each day. All the beds were comfortable. Best house I’ve ever rented for a short term vacation. Everyone could not believe how great the house was. Beautiful view from the backyard of the hills and ocean in the distance. Amazing sunset we were able to watch each evening. I can’t say enough good things about our stay in the home.
