This was our 25th annual family retreat with all our kids and grandkids, and we made so many amazing and fun family memories together at this property! The house was very accommodating for our every need. The view of the ocean is amazing and the access to the ocean is easy. When the ocean was to chilly the pool was where we swam. The front patio area was probably our favorite hangout spot with its great views, we had a fire at night and played games during the day. We will be booking this property again in the future. Our entire family truly enjoyed it.

Our stay was incredible. The home was everything we expected plus more than we can express. The ocean views and the sound of the waves never got old. It is the perfect home for a family vacation! We would definitely go back and stay.

Great Location

Beautiful home - only downside was that there are a lot of steps to get into the house, so as long as everyone in the group is mobile it is a wonderful place to stay.

Great stay for family celebration

We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our 3 adult children and their families, 15 people total. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was spacious, clean and everything we needed was there. Being right accross the street from the beach was a huge hit with everyone. We would absolutely love to stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This wonderful home had plenty of room for the 8 adults in our family. Everyone was happy with their room assignments and the 4 bathrooms eliminated waiting time. The heated pool was great but the ocean view patio became the main gathering spot. Can't say enough about the location, the fantastic ocean views, and the space for a large group. We rent frequently from VRBO and this home is one of our all time favorites!

Perfect stay for our 25 anniversary vow renewal!

This home was absolutely perfect for our group! Big kitchen to cook and windows galore. Perfect little nooks for reading and great spaces to gather for food and games. The heated pool was amazing no matter the weather outside. Location couldn’t have been more perfect, don’t forget to catch the amazing sunset! We hope to stay again someday but will cherish our memories until then.

Family Getaway

The house far exceeded our expectations. It was massive, with multiple family rooms, bathrooms, more beds than we needed, an amazingly stocked kitchen, and of course, spectacular views. We loved that we could gather when we wanted to but retreat to our own areas for privacy or quiet. Would love to come back in the summer to utilize the pool!

family gathering

This was an amazing, well supplied, beautiful home which was appreciated and a blessing to all of us. We are a family of 16 so finding a home "next to" the beach accommodating all is quite difficult. Castle by the Sea met our expectations and beyond. Celebrating 54 years of marriage with children and grandchildren is special and we feel grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home.

WOW views from seven areas

We stayed two weeks and children and grandchildren came and stayed at different times. The third floor was perfect for our daughter, husband and three kids. Also the WIFI worked perfectly so she could work many of the days. There were gobs of games, puzzles, etc. The pool was perfect. Fire pit was fun for smores. The grass area was nice to lay out and enjoy the sun. It was peaceful yet close to many restaurants and towns to shop in.

Lovely beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family gathered for the weekend and had a wonderful stay. Lots of comfy rooms with quality beds and pillows. Great views. Very well appointed kitchen. The decor is a bit dated, but very comfortable and lots of seating. Based in the description we thought there was a hot tub but there isn’t. We were a bit put off by all the signage around the house telling us we might lose our deposit if anything goes wrong. It felt very aggressive so we just made a joke about it. Other than that it was fantastic.

A week at the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a week that defies description it was so perfect. A 30 year anniversary that was delayed a year because of Covid. Four adult children and their families flying into San Jose from Seattle, Chicago and Kansas City and one driving from NorCal. Six littles under six and six bigs 13-21. What fun! We beached, some surfed, walked, swam I the pool every day, cooked delicious meals in the fully equipped huge kitchen with a view of the ocean that was awe inspiring. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of room for all of us and the house was well-maintained and welcoming. We met the owners and were made to feel like honored guests. The staff at Cheshire Rio Realty were easy to work with and very professional. We felt blessed to have had such a perfect vacation!
