"The entire house is nice. It was very clean when we arrived. The views toward the ocean are spectacular through the many windows on both levels.The interior is very modern, spacious and open. The kitchen looks new. The beds are firm. The furniture is very comfortable. In fact, my wife fell asleep on the couch looking at the beach on the upper level. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was hard to leave and return to real life."

Surfscape Beach House

Surfscape Beach House

10/10 Excellent
"This house has outstanding views of the ocean. As said in previous posts, some of the windows have lost their seals. There is a washer and dryer out in a separate building by the garage. The gps takes you to a dead end road. You need to go back out to the main road by the bridge where there is a new road that leads to the property. Also, the pictures show a telescope which we could not find. The beds were very comfortable and there were additional roll away beds. There is a wine dispenser with 4 kinds of wine—complimentary! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. This was a very comfortable property for the 4 of us."

"We noticed the attention to detail. The kitchen was stocked well and organized. Maybe add foil and zip lock bags would make even better. The beds had hotel pillows and sheets. So comfortable. We sat outside a lot and enjoyed the view and neighbors. It was very peaceful. The wine that was for us was a nice touch."
