We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming retreat, and it exceeded all our expectations. The view from the property is absolutely stunning, offering a picturesque landscape that nature lovers will truly appreciate. Whether it's the sunrise or sunset, the scenery is always breathtaking. The location is perfect for those seeking tranquility and a close connection with nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and serene landscapes, it's an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. One of the highlights of our stay was the delightful golden retrievers on the property. These friendly and playful dogs added an extra layer of warmth to the experience. They were always happy to see us and made us feel right at home. Their cheerful presence was a wonderful bonus to an already fantastic stay. The accommodation itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The amenities provided were more than sufficient, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Overall, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature. The combination of stunning views, a peaceful location, and the company of adorable golden retrievers made our stay truly memorable.

What an amazing gem! The rooms were beautiful and a great size! Very comfortable, and felt very luxe with the plantation shutters. The view of the ocean from the room and listening to the birds was just bliss. The heated pool and hot tub was very nice, enjoyed that it was outside so you could hear the ocean and see the stars. We enjoyed the later check-out time. There were cute swing chairs and firepit's and beach access too. It was incredible value for money in a superb location.

Exceptional property at a lovely, laid back beach town. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful that we encountered in California. We loved that we could borrow beach chairs and equipment and our kids loved the pool. It was the perfect place for some R&R on our road trip. The rooms were big and comfortable and I would highly recommend going for a sea view suite. The quality of the food at breakfast was also very high. The range on offer was a bit more limited than at some of the other hotels we stayed at but that was no problem for us.
