The original record collection, wood paneling, beaded curtains, and pull-chain toilets keep the original funky-retro spirt alive. The brand new carpets, appliances, mattresses, and furnishings keep everything fresh. (We've added a few lava lamps too, just for fun). Enjoy the hot tub, foosball, ping pong, 2 smart TV's, and ample indoor/outdoor nooks and seating areas. At 30MB download, the WiFi's not the fastest...but cell service and nature are both top notch.

Retro Retreat
Retro Retreat
Brenda and her crew pay attention to detail! Every part of our stay at Retro Retreat was spectacular. We were there for about 3 weeks and had everything we needed to feel "home" away from home. The home is clean, well-stocked, and has spectacular gardens and sunset views. It is tucked into the hill away from everything, but still within a 5/10 min. drive of anything you would need. I have stayed in a lot of rental properties over the years and BeachHaus Rentals stands out among the best of the best.
Retro Retreat
Our family had the most incredible few weeks at this home! It is truly one of a kind. We are in the middle of a house renovation nearby and needed to move out of our home for a few weeks. We were so thrilled to find this home. Our family had the best time playing ping pong in the downstairs game room and listening to records on the vintage record player! Our daughters loved watching movies in the loft, but the best part about the home by far are the views. I live 10 minutes away and truly felt like I was on vacation the whole time! The home's vibe is so fun and has a very good layout. The home was well stocked and we enjoyed the retro decor! We loved it so much we already have plans to go back!
1970's Retro Retreat
Brenda, Georgia and Miriam good morning; Just to share with you I seamlessly checked in yesterday. Once again I want to thank you for sharing your house with me and my mother, aunt and cousin. Your house is majestic, with amazing views yet I believe the most important, and great characteristic is its energy… It just feels peaceful, inviting and rejuvenating. Thank you, have an amazing rest of your weekend, JCB
1970's Retro Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! House is exactly as shown in the picture. The views are breathtaking! House was super clean, kitchen well stocked! All appliances were new. The place is tastefully decorated with so many items - old-style sewing machine, pencil sharpener, cassette players, TeleScope, and such. Two big-screen TVs, wifi, game room with ping-pong table and foosball. Library with books on history/art/etc. Games for kids and adults alike. This place can cater to the taste of people of all age groups. A great deal of thinking has gone in to in designing the interior of this house. There is a lot of privacy around this house since it's on a small hill/bluff - which is especially cool in covid times where you want to go out and still want social distancing, something you don't get from typical hotels. Communicating with Brenda and her team was smooth - we got quick responses to our queries. We would definitely come back here and recommend our friends!
Home Sweet Home
After growing up in this beautiful coastal SoCal town in the 70's, this house immediately felt like home for us. The smell of the sea air, the expansive views of the beach and complete privacy are nostalgic for me but would be a treat to anyone who stays. In a time when we are still a bit tentative in the outside world, it is really nice to have a retreat that is close to town yet essentially on top of the mountain. For those who want an outdoor experience away from the crowds near the shore, there are a bevy of trails right down the (somewhat steep but fun) driveway so you can launch right into a morning hike after sipping coffee and having a bagel on the deck. As an interior designer and architecture enthusiast, I am always looking at craftsmanship coupled with appropriate juxtaposition with the land, this home achieves both and you can see the personal care put into the build - there is no sheetrock, all wood walls - all wrapped up in an adorable perch. The interior is a perfect time capsule of the 70's, including the record player and books and the VCR! Everything, except the beds which are super comfortable. The place was exceptionally clean, cozy and just set up in a way where you feel like you are visiting your favorite aunt, and she just baked you a pie. If you are looking for a boring hotel experience this is not the place for you; but if you want to feel like you are Home Sweet Home then I would encourage you to get in before everyone is in on this new secret!
