This is a very clean, cozy space! Great view of the ocean too. The dog was happy, only we had to walk him down the stairs in order to relieve himself. He is almost 14, and it is getting harder for him to climb stairs. Not a problem for young dogs! Thank you for a lovely stay, Diana! We would rent from you again for sure!

My husband and I were looking forward to 48 hours away and I was not prepared for how perfect this adorable place was. The view was breath taking, the room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom fully stocked, and to top it off we were able to bring our dogs with us! The host was even nice enough to close the gates so the pups could wonder around. Walking distance to our favorite local restaurants and breweries. Very close and short walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!
