2nd time staying at this house. While the direct beach view is now blocked by a recently built home, you can still see the ocean and rock formations to the north and ocean to the south. You can't hear the ocean from inside the house. Fortunately, the sunset is viewable from most all west facing windows! Location is close to the beach and overall is a very nice, bright, modern house. Well stocked kitchen equipment, pots, pans, coffee makers, utensils, foil, storage containers, etc. Keurig coffee, oil, salt, pepper and a few seasonings are a nice touch. As always, we appreciate owners allow pets and the yard is completely fenced. Since our pups are small, this is very important to us. Only issues we had was the microwave turntable doesn't turn and TV doesn't allow viewers to login to Amazon, Netflix, Apple, etc. (It may, but we couldn't figure out how to do so).
