Lake Nacimiento Vacation Rental- Crows Nest With a View

We had the most magical stay at Kimberly and Cody’s beautiful home in Oak Shores! We came for a family reunion, and the house was absolutely perfect for bringing everyone together. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, and honestly, the house had everything we could think of. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably, everything was very clean, and the location was so convenient to the dock. The view is incredible! We loved spending time on the wraparound deck and balcony, eating meals together, BBQing, relaxing on the patio furniture, and just taking in the beautiful surroundings. We made such special memories here with our family and couldn’t have asked for a better place to gather. Thank you, Kimberly and Cody, for sharing your wonderful home with us. We would absolutely stay here again!

Crow's Nest is a perfect home to rent for a family. The house was close to the lake, pool and docks, which made it convenient for us all, great location. Check in was easy and Kim and Cody helped us whenever we had questions, The house was beautiful and so comfortable for our family, Each bedroom had it's own bathroom which was nice. The bottom floor had more room then expected for the teenagers and also had there own bathroom, the were all happy to have there own space. The view was spectacular. To wake up and have coffee on the deck, then dinner and family time was the best. The house came with everything we needed and more. The kitchen was so spacious for all ladies to all cook together. We watched movies and had plenty of room in the living room to spread out comfortably. Watching the crows, deer and wild life right from the deck was spectacular, our grandkids loved it. The pool was so clean and not too cold where we all could swim and play. The house was so clean, I wish some of our previous rentals could be just like Crows Nest. Our next visit to Lake Nacimiento we will definitely be planning on staying in the beautiful house. Thank you again Kim and Cody for making our family vacation perfect.

The house is beautiful, nicer than expected. The view is even better. The pictures don't do it justice. House is at the top of a one lane road but easily accessible. We were able to park our 23 ft ski boat in the space below the house. The house had everything. No need to bring anything. The association is not at all RENTER friendly though and parking at the marina is very challenging and limited for non owneers. Despite the association issues, we would definitely go back there again. The owners have done a great job with the place.
