The layout of the house was great for our family. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great after a long day at the beach. The host did a great job of providing anything you might need on vacation, including beach chairs and towels. The kitchen was very well stocked as well. The host made themselves easily accessible. Only thing, the couch can be upgraded, otherwise perfect.

House were very gracious and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We were impressed with their flexibility and we appreciate it very much. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. All of them seemed family friendly. The area is very quiet with a good view.

Wonderful spot, went with our kiddos and had a great week. Spent one day in Summerland walking and checking local shops, several owners were there and very kind. Home was perfect for relaxing between each days adventures. Perk, hummingbirds were busy at the feeders so great mornings enjoying coffee with an ocean view and birdies.

On our first night there was an issue that was no fault to the property or hosts but Rick and Debbie went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of.
