Cliffside Lighthouse Beach Home w/ Ocean View

Reviews

• Great view!

  5/5

  Lovely time staying here. The view is incredible, can't beat the sunsets. There's a great stairway to the beach, (59 steps!), that's more intimidating than reality. The house is a bit dated but very comfy. We will likely be back sometime in the future.

• The View

  5/5

  The entrance to the home is in the backyard and as I walked back there, I was immediately stunned by the gorgeous view. I arrived around sunset and it was stunning with the glow behind the lighthouse and over the crashing waves.

  Upon entering, I found the house to be completely immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchenware and dishes. The bathrooms had enough towels and there was a closet with more linen and towels available. There was also a closet stocked with games.

  The living room is impressive with floor length windows that allow you to take in the view without even trying. There was plenty of seating available with several couches and recliners in the living room, as well as a large kitchen table.

  The two bedrooms were also immaculate. The large window in the master bedroom also allows you to take in the view.

  The view, while consisting of the lighthouse and ocean also allows you to see the beautiful and well maintained yard and garden. (I live in the desert and we don’t have a lot of green grass).

  The only hiccup was initially getting in. The moisture in the air has warped the door, so you have to pull it tight when entering the code so it will catch to unlock.

  Also, the neighbor across the street has a friendly off leash dog that came over a couple of times. The dog wouldn’t leave until his owner came to get him so something to be aware of if you bring your own dogs.

  There is direct access to the beach by way of a lot of stairs, which feels like even more when you’re heading back up. Keep in mind, the house is literally on a cliff. We mostly had the beach to ourselves when we went. You’ll find driftwood and large kelp washed on shore. The waves are rougher in this area and not something I’d be comfortable swimming in.

  Overall, we had a lovely, quiet time. My dogs and I enjoyed the comfort of the home and freedom on beach. The view was unmatched. I would stay here again if my travels brought me back.

• Some challenges, but overall a great time

  This is a beautiful, if somewhat dated property. The views are great, the kitchen was serviceable, and the neighborhood was quiet. Access to the beach really sealed the deal for us.A few issues.When we first arrived, the automatic deadbolt was sticking, so we weren't able to get in until we reached out to the manager. It seemed to work fine after that.Then, the doorknob of the garage door fell off. We fixed it as best we could without proper tools, and it functioned for the rest of the trip.The blinds in the living room were not properly attached, so one of them could not be closed. We fixed this as well.The dehumidifier filters were pretty moldy, so we took care of that, and it mitigated the mustiness quite a bit.The view, which was spectacular, was initially heavily obscured by dirty windows. We found a squeegee on a pole in the laundry room, and went to work with a hose. The windows were 10x better after a little elbow grease, even if we didn't do a perfect job.Overall, we had a great time. The needed repairs weren't ideal, but we still enjoyed our stay very much.
