 Perfect Beach Getaway!, June 21, 2009
By Petra Rofoli (Honolulu, HI USA)
This was a perfect beach getaway. Wonderful view from backyard. Centrally located on the Mesa. Cute house and well stocked. We will be back, hopefully for years to come! Negative: Only 1 bathroom. Highly recommend taking the Condor Express for Whale Watching, one of the highlights of our vacation.
 
By Julie (Tustin, CA)
This home was just perfect for our girls birthday celebration. The home was decorated so cute, the beds were comfortable, and there was everything we needed. The back patio view was so beautiful and relaxing. Location was perfect for walks on the beach. I would refer this property to anyone and we will be back!
 
 casa del mar, mar 6th thru 8th, March 10, 2009
By Ron (Miami Fl USA)
wonderful setting along the coast, the pictures make it look like its on the coast but its across the street nonetheless, breathtaking views, plenty of sleeping accomodations but only 1 bathroom, everything else, i mean everything else was precious, a gem completely worth the money and more, we rented space heaters at night because it does get cold, if you are renting in the winter / early spring, great location, the neighbors are great also, no complaints, the mgt company was great as well, in and out no problem, hassle free
 
By William O'Donohue (Reno)
Well kept home, convenient, beautiful views. Highly recommended.
 
 casa del mar, January 7, 2008
By Susan Kaessner (Denver, CO)
The property was very nice, especially because of its proximity to the beach. The bedrooms were nicely furnished and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen is a bit outdated, but it worked just fine. I would definitely consider rental property for a vacation in the future...it is nice to be able to come and go as we please and cook our own meals.

The photos on line don’t do the place justice. It was beyond expectations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay – what a beautiful spot.

This morning I saw a whale swimming North and dolphins playing around the early morning surfers.
Your home is very comfortable, and to see the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean every morning is a treat in itself.
We really enjoyed the house. It is very comfortable, warm and inviting. We hope to return again soon.
