Steps From the Beach, Private Yard, Hot Tub
Nestled on a quiet sandy calle, this light-filled beach house invites you to relax from the moment you arrive. Curl up in a cozy reading nook or take the short path over the dunes for a peaceful beach walk. After a dip in the ocean, rinse off in the outdoor shower and unwind in the hot tub. Walk to nearby restaurants or cook in the open-concept kitchen and gather around the large custom dining table or the deck’s picnic table with hill views. The spacious enclosed yard includes a charcoal grill. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf in the king-bed primary bedroom, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed and a separate full bed. A charming garden casita with a built-in twin bed provides extra privacy for guests.

Had a great time. Highly recommend. Great kitchen and appliances for cooking.
Would prefer the pot belly stove clean and heard mixed reviews on the hot tub so did not use it.

Artsy warm home
This family home is filled with the owner's art and quirky deco. We had fun exploring the house and enjoyed the location - quick walk to the beach and a short bike ride to town. (One thing that would have made it even better: screens on the windows so that we could enjoy the fresh ocean breeze sans mosquitoes).
