Recent California guest reviews

This condo was very clean, well maintained and had the view, amenities and comfort our family enjoyed during our week-long stay. We were in town for our daughter's wedding at a nearby venue and the condo provided the perfect spot for relaxing after the days of hectic activities spent elsewhere. The rooftop hot tub, sunset ocean and pier views, short walk to the beach, proximity to just about anything you could need within a 5 minute drive all proved to be the perfect set up for our visit to San Clemente. My family thoroughly enjoyed our time and highly recommend this condo and Vacasa!

The house was wonderful for our family - 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 preschool kids. Very clean, plenty of space for everyone to be alone or together, great view of the ocean, a minute walk to the Del Mar Rec Center and a few minutes walk to the bluff and forest trails - couldn't ask for more. Vacasa, however, not so great. The place to pick up the guest passes for the car and rec centers is north of Sea Ranch in Gualala and the office is difficult to find; they leave a "starter packet" of dishwasher soap - 2 packets, not enough for a week; no laundry soap, napkins, and other such stuff. For the rental price, they seemed to skimp on what I consider basics.

This home is tucked in a beautiful cliff side of the Mendocino coastline. Close to the towns of Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Our family visit here was filled with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean sunsets. The soft spray of the crashing waves and the scent of the salty sea air. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the mornings and cocktails in the backyard at sunset. The hot tub has a beautiful view of the setting sun accompanied by the relaxing hot water. We will be returning to this lovely home stocked with all the comforts of home.
