6 out of 5 stars! Cannot say enough great things about this beautiful house! Photos do not do it justice! Bright, clean, airy, and relaxing, it offered a welcome and relaxing respite for our family. We loved all of the touches that made the home special, from the relaxing beach house design elements to the peaceful bamboo garden views and serene outdoor shower to the charming backyard with a dining table and comfortable chairs (even for little ones!) where we enjoyed our lunch, appreciating the hummingbirds, butterflies and flowers to the thoughtful collection of books, puzzles and games that our daughter enjoyed and the generously well-stocked kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. The thoughtfulness of the hosts in supplying the home with everything a family might need made for such an easy, pleasant stay. The house was equipped with modern appliances, including a washer and dryer, microwave, dishwasher as well as a good security and temperature control system. We loved that the home was situated in a nice, quiet neighborhood and appreciated the home’s proximity to beaches, the Forest Nisene Park, as well as great restaurants to order takeout from, not to mention Marianne’s Ice Cream! From booking to the end of the trip, Jackie was super responsive, friendly and so easy to communicate with. All in all, we highly recommend this spot and in our 10+ years of booking rentals, consider it one we would gladly return to again!
