Gorgeous Get-away
This little house was absolutely lovely! The views are amazing - you are literally right on the cliffside and have a view of the ocean from the living room and the bedroom. It's got a decent kitchen, and a great bathtub. It's also only 2 miles from Pt Cabrillo lighthouse, so you can easily walk there. Great stargazing, too. One of the best places I've stayed!

Lovely littke spot
Very clean, cozy and welcoming. The property manager was prompt responding quickly to my text message. There isn't ac, so it could use a fan or screen on the windows to get some air flow through. No real complaints though!
