The blinds don't close so there's a lot of light in the mornings in the bedrooms. Great location.

The house was perfect, really nice size living room and the beds were all super comfortable. We loved the balcony with the firepit, sat out there each night and morning. We will definitely rent this one again!

This is the perfect home to relax and enjoy your family and the beach. It was super comfortable and set up beautifully to enjoy the beach. We loved sitting on the patios both upstairs and downstairs. We would love to go again.

Our family absoltely loved staying at this wonderful beach house! Rio Del Mar holds a very special place in my heart since I grew up coming here as a child, and this house and location can't be beat. We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean waves, and easy access to the sand and beach. Will be coming back again!

The house is right on the beach so the views are great. We had difficulty getting over the stains on the furniture and curtains and the torn screen on the slider. We had to leave for a family my emergency and did not end up staying but with some changes they could definitely make some improvements. Pictures were sent to the property management company however we have not heard back yet.

We were dissatisfied overall. The price was way too high for the quality of the lodging. For what we paid we expected the house to be high end. The price was similar to what we paid for the ritz at turtle bay. The house was old and the dishes were dirty and disorganized. The front room smelled of cats and the neighbors were up late and loud. I searched for the property on the management website while we there and it was available for 1/4 of the price. That price would have been more appropriate for the quality.

For those of us who are not technological sophisticated, the check in process was extremely frustrating. I really don't understand your need for a picture and driver's license. In addition, as a widow, living alone, holding the camera and the drivers license didn't allow for any extra fingers to take the picture. I have rented with other management companies in the area and they have a much easier user friendly process. Just for perspective, I have been renting houses on the island for 50 years.The house was comfortable and quite lovely. I was surprised to note that none of the bathrooms had handle bars in the showers. I actually thought that it was California state law for vacation rentals to have handle bars installed in the bathrooms.Communication with your company was exceptional. Every question had a timely and helpful response.Thank you for your part in making our stay a happy one.
