We had such a special stay here. The ocean views from the house were amazing. The house was super clean. The lay out was perfect (one story) for kids (10, 7, 6, and 18mo). We went to the beach twice a day (morning and late afternoon). Coming home from the beach to a hot outside shower and then a hot tub dip (perfectly heated) and a swim in the pool (also heated) was great for our family. You have so much privacy here too and very quiet nights. Zuma has the perfect amount of waves and sand to play safely in (also lots of lifeguards). We felt safe at Zuma beach. You can easily walk to the beach, but we drove to make it easier on us with all our kids and gear. Easy drive and free parking along PCH. We also went to Leo Carillo tide pools and beach one morning - so fun to look for sea life in the tide pools. Our Monday to Friday stay was a huge treat for us and the kids will be talking about that vacation for a very, very long time. Thank you, Nerissa & Melissa!
