Michael H. Jun 10, 2025 07:54:46 AM
Summary: A beautiful home, and it is right near the beach. We all enjoyed the atmosphere, decks, and the beauty of the surrounding area.
Lynn M. M. Dec 5, 2024 01:42:25 AM
Summary: This was a multigenerational stay and we enjoyed it very much. The house was well stocked with dishes, knives, spices, towels and toiletries. The welcome basket was an extra nice touch! We used the path to get to the beach for nice walks. The deck is lovely for enjoying the view. Lots of privacy and security with the gated entrance. We will recommend this house to others!

Summary: This was a family vacation at the beach, and everything was perfect. We love the house and the views, and you can’t beat the Monterey Bay for the variety of amazing activities. The house has everything, and we enjoyed the overhead projector to watch sports. We had fires on the beach and fires outside at the house. The beach is very uncrowded and gorgeous and just a short 2 min walk from the front door
Linda C. Jul 31, 2023 02:49:28 PM
Summary: My family thoroughly enjoyed our six-night stay at Villa Margarita. The house was well equipped; we had everything we needed. My family especially enjoyed the short walk to the beach, the outdoor fire pit and games, and our youngest family members enjoyed exploring the secluded and secure property around the house. I have rented several vacation houses through the years. Villa Margarita is one of the nicest houses we’ve stayed in and Jilka was, by far, the nicest and most responsive property owner I’ve communicated with before and during a vacation stay. I would definitely rent Villa Margarita again.

Summary: This house was just as advertised! The kitchen was well stocked if you want to make meals at the house. The short walk to the beach is well maintained (not a busy part of the beach either). The upper and lower decks have an ocean view if you just want to hang out. We have stayed at many homes between La Selva and Aptos and this one ranks with the best.
Hilary S. Jul 1, 2023 12:15:13 AM
Summary: Beautiful home with great access to the beach. Super clean, spacious, kitchen had all the things needed for cooking meals at home. Lots of special touches: welcome basket, owner checked in with us and was available for any issues (none), beds and bedding were top notch, plenty of towels, beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs available for use, binder with recommendations for eating out and grocery shopping, and the great movie/family room with large projector screen was terrific and we had multiple movie nights. Our 5 teenagers had a blast, lots of space to explore, walk to the corner market, and get to the beach in minutes. Top notch home and experience.
Jennifer M. Feb 27, 2023 07:11:48 AM
Summary: Our family enjoyed our stay very much. We had three generations there and were very comfortable. Jilka was very responsive to questions and easy to communicate with. Hope to come back to this very cool spot!

Summary: The place is exactly as described and the hosts, Jilka and Grant, are exceptional. They are very responsive and really want their guests to enjoy the stay. The house was perfect for us ( 5 adults and 2 kids under age five ) and was well stocked with essentials and a lovely welcome goody bag. The beach was beautiful but does require navigating some steps to get to it. By all means, book a stay there for a lovely relaxing stay.. Thank you, Jilka and Grant, we had a great time.
Nick H. Jul 1, 2022 04:38:49 AM
Summary: Amazing place on the beach! We love it!
Jennifer D. Jun 6, 2022 03:36:28 AM
