"The property and the view is phenomenal. We spent three days at this property and we enjoyed every minute of it. It is very close to Zuma Beach, which is a really clean and nice beach.We will definitely come back for another vacation to this property The only problem that we had was with the phone and Internet reception. If you’re planning to stay at this property, make sure to take a screenshot from the check-in instructions since you won’t be able to pull it up on your phone before getting connected to the Wi-Fi inside the house. I texted the management company regarding the entry code and they got back to me in a short time. You won’t be able to receive calls or make calls from this location."
