Beautiful and Spacious Ocean Front Spanish Villa Mansion

Our two weeks at the Villa from June 29 to July 13 were great. The beachfront location is fantastic allowing young and old guests easy access in and out. The beach is not crowded so we always had plenty of space. We had children/grandchildren first week and brothers/sisters/cousins second week spanning multiple generations of our family. The building is almost 100 years old and has an interesting history (Charles Lindberg slept there). It is now more eclectic than luxurious which was actually more alluring to our guests. We had plenty of space for dining/socializing/playing/sleeping/working. The hosts quickly resolved minor (TV remotes, trash pickup) and major (dryer not heating requiring new heating coil) items. We hope to return.

We had a great time with our family and friends hanging out on the beach and at the house! Plenty of space for everyone and places for all of our stuff! Full large kitchen to prep family meals! The building could use a few repairs, some of the mattresses could be updated. For the price we can’t complain! Loved the history and old craftsmanship of this unique beach house!

We loved this beautiful old home on the beach! Note that it is an old home a does require some love but we would go back for the comfort, the tranquility, the privacy and the AMAZING view. Thank you!

Pros: I mean, it is right on the beach. And a good part of the beach, too. And walking-distance to the pier. The host was flexible with us about how many guests--we had 24, they were listed as up to 20. Easy pet policy--our well-behaved dog was with us and there was no extra fee. We did kennel him when we weren't at the house, but only as a precaution on our end. The host didn't even ask. There are lots of bathrooms, and enough beds for 17 people (assuming double-occupancy for most of them). Plenty of parking. Two big balconies. Cons: The house is not well-cared for. One of the showers wasn't working. The downstairs bathroom sink had no hot water. Mildew growing on the bathroom ceilings. The faucet of one tub had to be shoved back in each time you turned the shower on to keep it from falling out. The basement and attic should be cleaned up or locked off to prevent kids injuring themselves. 3 of the adults in our group decided to sleep on the couches/buy air mattresses because their beds were so bad (all were bad, actually). No furniture on the balconies. The kitchen had very little silverware, bowls, glasses (but plenty of plates). But the biggest issue: the house was not clean enough. Spiderwebs in many corners. The floors, especially, needed a deep cleaning to remove possibly years of grime. The windows need to be washed. There was trash in the yard, including broken toys and used napkins. Finally, host was mostly unresponsive to anything--including inquiries about checkin
