Property was fantastic, photos don't adequately tell the whole story. Very comfortable, with many different gathering areas for family and friends.The property is pet friendly as the host does have two cats that roam freely on the property. We were going to bring small dog on this trip, had we, there would have been a problem.The hosts live on the property which allows for occasional contact which we experienced. Wasn't a big deal with us, but others, could be put-off.The house is large and accomodating, with a great ocean view. The host will spend a little time orienting renters to sound, air and pool systems.
