When you rent a vacation home you often only deal with a large property management company. They’re typically available only Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. And even if you reach them during office hours it can take days to solve an issue – usually after you’ve checked out. And you often have to check in, fill out paperwork and get keys at their office, which can be miles away.

Our names are Melany & Jon. We're experienced Superhosts and we own and manage this fully-licensed home ourselves. We’ve lived here for 30 years – California’s Central Coast is heaven on Earth to us! Your key will be waiting for you at the house in a lock-box. We live 5 minutes from the property and are available to help 24/7. You’ll have our personal cell number -- call or text ANYTIME! We’ll deal with any issue immediately. We are familiar with all the local shopping, activities, and restaurants (honestly we eat out too much). We’d LOVE to recommend places and activities to make your stay absolutely amazing!!

Disaster bungalow

The property should not be listed in your web site. It’s a total ripoff. The appliances are archaic and not functioning. Living quarters have only couches meant for children. Lacks cleanliness , cleaning utensils, words cannot describe the cooking utensils. We felt we were staying in a South Africa township

Cozy House with Walking Distance to Beach

We stayed here two years ago and booked again for this year. Cozy home, love the wood ceiling and beams. Enjoyed the fact that we all could be together, and the kitchen had tools, pots, pans and spices! Wonderful that all 4 rooms have King-sized beds. Melany and Jon were very responsive and accommodating- they checked on a DVD, and confirmed they had a crockpot. High winds blew a palm frond onto one of the bedroom's roof and to the patio, and they immediately said they could come over and remove it. We said it was fine. Casual, beachy, and welcoming home. Thank you!

Dog & 4 adults stayed to be on the outskirts of CalPoly graduation. We slept well, showers were great, and we enjoyed the park and short 1/2 mile walk to the dune/ ATV beach. Not fancy, but quieter and less expensive than SLO

Needs fixing/remodel

The place is alright, quite old and needs some basic remodel.We only stayed here one night. Both bathrooms were old and had issues. Hot water not working on one and the second bathroom, the sink was not draining. So we were down to 1 bathroom for ALL showers and second was merely a the powder room, for Sink usage.The owner did show up to check in the morning at 10.15 but it was so close to check out time that there was no time to repair. However, we clearly saw that it was a Chronic problem hence putting it out here so they fix it and others dont have the same issue. They offered late check out only cause there was no one checking in that day (we were offered discount the checkout morning to stay longer)Also, 2 of the hallway futons, we could not convert to the bed. So the place needs uplifting on our opinion.
