Ocean Block 1/2 block to the beach, large back yard, rustic home in North OC

Small and without many of the bells and whistles that you find in some rentals but the distance to the beach is fantastic and the rental agency is wonderful to work with. This was our second stay in this cozy little house nestled among the multi-story condos.

Our family really enjoyed this home and the location. Short walk to the beach, close to shops and food, the house was great, and the host was awesome to work with. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect little rustic place to stay along the beach. Great area

The property looks just like the photos, so there were no surprises regarding its appearance. However, we were disappointed by several issues that significantly impacted our stay.The listing advertises a washer and dryer, but there was no washer or dryer available. Cleanliness was also a major concern. The comforters on the beds did not appear to be clean, and when we pulled back the bedding, the mattresses and beds were stained and in very poor condition. The bathrooms and kitchen were also not cleaned to an acceptable standard upon our arrival.Although the house rules state that guests should not leave items behind, the closets and cabinets were filled with food, cleaning supplies, paper products, and other miscellaneous belongings from previous renters. This made the space feel cluttered and poorly maintained.The air conditioning was inadequate. The units barely cooled the home, and the first-floor bedroom did not have an air conditioner at all, making it uncomfortable to sleep in.There were also safety concerns. The light fixtures are outdated, and several electrical outlets appeared old and in need of repair or replacement.Overall, while the property matched the listing photos, the lack of cleanliness, inaccurate amenities, maintenance issues, and safety concerns were disappointing. We would not book this rental again unless these issues are thoroughly addressed.
