"The property was precisely as described, and the host was wonderful to work with. The hot tub and fire pit made the views even more incredible. Do yourself a favor and head down to the beach in the morning to soak in the spectacle of the cliffside on which the home is situated."

8/10 Good
"The house was lovely and well stocked. Communication with the hosts was excellent, they were always prompt in getting back to us. The hot tub was a hit. We enjoyed Jenner and the surrounding area. Visited the redwoods in Armstrong and had dinner at River's End. Both were excellent. Our only disappointment was the cold foggy weather which happened during our whole visit. We didn't get to see any of the amazing sunsets we had read about.No fault of the hosts. I think we will need another visit!"
