Our stay at Opal Cliff was wonderful! Turiya is super responsive and flexible when we wanted to check in early and if we had any questions during the stay. The views from the house are truly amazing. The location and proximity to Pleasure Point and Capitola is really the biggest selling point and you honestly could not get any better. The house is a nice size for a large group with good amenities to enjoy your vacation – coffee machine, upgraded spacious kitchen, outdoor BBQ, outdoor lamps, fire pit with ample seating, wet suits, large library, tesla car charging station, etc.
The house is definitely old as is the case with many houses in the area and doesn’t seem to have been renovated much since it was originally built. Some of the doors have old door knobs and locks, with the back-patio door not shutting completely. The main bathroom shower didn’t get hotter than lukewarm, so we had to shower in the other bathroom that then proceeded not to drain while showering and only drained after about 1 hour. I totally understand the concept of trying to keep houses “original” and maintain the “charm” of the house, but some simple renovations could really elevate this place and justify the listing price. With that said I would still highly recommend staying here.
