Summary of reviewsLovely spacious home near multiple beaches, well-appointed with plenty of room for families, cozy living areas, and wonderful hosts. Ideal for family gatherings!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
The house was well appointed for multiple guests with enough bedrooms and ample space for hanging out. One bathroom was nicknamed the Micky Mouse for a deceased mouse with a friend. All homes have mice, I was not surprised to see a few.The driveway, however, was way too steep for our small shuttle vehicle and 3 of our guests cars couldn’t make it up due to the bottom of it scraping the abrupt incline. There was parking across the street provided.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Five adults and 8 young children stayed at this house and there was plenty of space and an easy walk to Long Beach. The owners were extremely communicative and accommodating. The house was clean and well stocked. We’d definitely stay again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We really enjoyed our stay in this home! We went with two other families. Had plenty of space. Walking distance to a great ice cream place and a local beach. Would highly recommend!
6 / 10Average·Mar 2020
This house can accommodate a large group (17) in some respects, particularly the number of beds, size of kitchen, and living room. Two bathrooms can be a stretch, but doable.
The amount we paid for the linen service was an overpayment. The linens are old, thin, and limited; I have never rented thru VRBO & seen such unacceptable linens. I would have rented my own if I had known they would have been so bad.
The dining room cannot accommodate 17 people, so beware, if you have a big group you will not all be sitting together.
The house was not clean. We have two people in our family with asthma, so this was particularly disturbing & we took it upon ourselves to vac the bedrooms because of the accumulated dust under the beds. Having a toddler crawl on the floors, the dirt showed up on his pant knees & hands.
In fairness to the owners, they have discussed the possibility of refunding the cleaning fee because of the houses’ condition. As of this time, we have not received that refund.
