My family and I stayed at Rio del Mar for my son's college graduation. The home is on a very nice quiet street walking distance from the the beach trail. So convenient. There was ample parking in the garage and in the driveway which for a beach town is usually not the case. Inside, we had everything we could possibly need. Plenty of towels and a well equipped kitchen. Our favorite part to the house was the private kitchen area upstairs. Plenty of room to relax, with lots of natural light due to the super large windows and skylights. We were very comfortable up there watching the World Cup on the big TV. We also brought our two dogs and they quickly learned how to use the doggy door in the garage that leads to a private fenced in back patio. Key if you are a pet owner. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything with the property just went well and as advertised. The house has a spacious layout with large comfortable rooms. The property was very clean and kept up, and the property manager provides timely and useful information. Located in a neat neighborhood and close to all town amenities, and beach access is right across the street!

I really wanted to love this property, because the top level of the house really is beautiful and great for relaxing, but the ease of stay and safety concerns made me drop 2 stars off my review. The first safety issue is that we arrived at night, and NO LIGHTS were left on for us. Not only that, but there is NO CELL SERVICE in or around the house. We had to leave and find service so that I could download the instructions and entry code, as well as the wifi login info. Second, the wall switches don't actually turn on any lights, so I was stumbling around in the dark trying to find the lamp knobs. Coupled with the fact that there are a few ill-placed steps, it is only a matter of time before someone else falls and sues. I tripped twice down these steps in the dark before finding the lamps, and luckily wasn't injured. One final safety concern is that the door from the upstairs master bedroom that leads to the outside deck does not lock. Personally, my biggest issue that upset me was that I rented this house based on the cover photo, which I now know had to have been taken with a drone, looking down on the house. I rented this thinking I could let my 93 yr old mom sit on a deck and look out at the ocean while I worked. Obviously my fault for not digging deeper, but that photo is really misleading. Communication with the property managers was sketchy at best. Sometimes they wrote back within an hour or two, but other questions I had were never answered.
