10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
This is a unique and beautiful location and home, right next to a small lake and the ocean. The pictures do not do it justice; it's so much better in person. We didn’t expect the partial ocean view beyond the lake and enjoyed watching boats pass by. Sunsets were amazing with light reflecting on the lake. Fantastic views from both the living room and kitchen. Even washing dishes was enjoyable with the view. Monarch butterflies were in the Eucalyptus trees in mid-October, another unexpected treat. The bathroom felt like a spa, complete with a heated floor. Walk around the lake, to the beach, and East Cliff Drive, no need to get in the car. What a gem, we’ll be back!

Charming neighborhood! Stellar views. Lovely amenities. Close to surf spots. Cute nearby market for drinks and snacks, and lovely walking trails nearby. Kitchen great for meal prep. Easy and friendly host communication. Overall, we’d come back!

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was spacious and well stocked. The roomy kitchen was a great place to cook meals and reconnect with family. You can walk to so many beaches so no worries about parking. The deck and spa overlooking the lagoon were our favorite place to chill. We hope to be back!
