Surf Casita was a beautiful place to stay! It was impeccably clean and very comfortable for our family of four. The house was very secure and close to the beach, restaurants, and a park for the kids.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Place felt safe and clean with high end appliances and fully stocked kitchen. Great location a block from the beach & by the harbor. We would stay there again.
Very clean and well cared for accommodation which was exactly as advertised. The beds are very comfortable and the owner was super friendly and helpful.
Cute property in a quiet street. Modern and clean and close to everything. Loved being a few mins walk to the beach for morning surf and enjoying the amazing California sunsets too.
The property is super clean, everything is updated and such comfortable beds. It is also close to everything, just park car in garage and walk to: beach 1 block, pier 1 block, all restaurants/bars 1 block. Looks like we’ll me making this a yearly vacation spot!
This place was absolutely gorgeous! It is a super quick walk to the beach/boardwalk which was very nice. Beach chairs and towels for us to use was a nice added benefit. Everything is new and updated, we wish could have stayed longer.
Check in could not have been easier, property manager provided all information prior to arrival and was great at responding to any additional questions. This home is completely updated with great amenities. Location is not right on the beach, but it is a short walk to the beach and very close to the pier.
Property was roomy, clean and airy! Enjoyed our stay. The patio was enclosed and private. Heard the upstairs neighbors a bit at night but it wasn’t awful. Really enjoyed the location and being able to walk to the pier and local shops! It was overall fantastic and would stay again!
My family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this property for a week. It is modern, fresh, clean and packed with amenities. We loved being minutes from the beach (a short walk), boats, food and drink. We also liked that we were on a small, quiet street. I would definitely stay here again. Ron is a fabulous host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ron has a great property, very clean, nicely decorated. Didn’t care for sharing the garage but it worked out fine. It’s an amazing place and we would definitely recommend.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was very well presented with updated finishes, furnishings and amenities. The location is great with easy access to the harbor and ocean beaches. The technology was a little challenging at first but after awhile it was manageable. The host Ron was easy to reach by phone or text. All and all a great place to vacation and relax.
The house was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook meals, and the living room had comfortable seating and a large TV for relaxing in the evenings.
Equally as great as the home was the location - quick walk to the beach, restaurants, and stores.
Ron, the host, was a pleasure.
Would definitely rent again!
This house was so clean and the location is hard to beat! Ron was so responsive and easy to communicate with and even surprised us with a wedding gift! We had everything we needed. The house was a smart house so some fun amenities that we weren’t used to! Highly recommend!
The property was so cute and very clean. There was a lot of attention to detail to make it cozy. We loved how close it was to the beach/restaurants. We absolutely loved the outside patio area where our 4 year old loved to take her toys and play. Ron was very pleasant to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable! Only things to note in case it matters to you: there is another property above you so you can hear the other tenants sometimes, you share the garage, and you share the washer/dryer. This didn’t deter us and Ron made sure we were as comfortable as possible.
Very clean , modern, cookware enough to prepare simple meals, lots of towels including beach towels, plenty of toilet paper & paper towels & napkins..also hand soap & shampoo, etc was there. Salt pepper, cooking oil was there& enough plates & silverware…dishwasher was a little finicky but usually did the job. Very nice to have a shared garage & private patio. It was a little tricky having dogs with us as we had to walk blocks away for them to “do their business” as there is no grass or dirt close by…
Ron was an exceptional host! Place was immaculate, inside and out! Decorated beautifully inside and outside. Location was perfect for walking to beach and restaurants. We’ll be back for sure. Thanks Ron!
House was very cute and updated. Perfect size for a family of 5. Location was great and near lots of restaurants and the beach. Sharing a washer and dryer was not a big deal.
Wow, gorgeous stay. Just what we needed! Loved the very short walk to the pier. It was quieter than staying on the sand! We wished we’d spent more time there and would love to come back.
