Upscale, Spectacular Oceanfront, Inside State Beach Park, 3 Mins Drive To Beach!

10/10 Excellent
"The view of Pelicans, rock formations, WHALES FOR 3 DAYS, exquisite sunsets, comfortable everything was marvelous! Megan and Dave could not have provided more information or details of the area if they tried! Dave brought over more olive oil because it was down- such thoughtfulness! The kitchen, spices and great variety of quality items for cooking were so appreciated.Being able to bring our dog who loved joining us on the deck was such a gift to this beautiful spot overlooking so much beauty and very active natural wild life!Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise!"

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the property. Gorgeous view. Really could have used a washer and dryer with 5 days there. Also could have used hot pads in the kitchen. The kitchen faucet needs to be tightened. Bed in the smaller room had what we thought might be poop on the bedspread. The coziness of the home and the views can't be beat tho."

"The location on the beach and hot tub was amazing. The stair well to the loft was smaller than we thought it would be, and the bathroom door was heavy and loud to use. But everything else was great!"

8/10 Good
"The house was lovely and well stocked. Communication with the hosts was excellent, they were always prompt in getting back to us. The hot tub was a hit. We enjoyed Jenner and the surrounding area. Visited the redwoods in Armstrong and had dinner at River's End. Both were excellent. Our only disappointment was the cold foggy weather which happened during our whole visit. We didn't get to see any of the amazing sunsets we had read about.No fault of the hosts. I think we will need another visit!"
