| Wow, what a beautiful home. It was perfect for us. The kids had a blast in the play house and on the beach. The views from the kitchen are magnificent and we even saw whales! We managed to cook a Thanksgiving feast for 8 and had a wonderful time. We had a trip to the Redwoods and downt the coast and found that we just didn't have enough time to do everything. The driveway at the front was a great space for the kids to practice on their bikes and scooters. A beautiful house with plenty of space and lovely decor. Thanks |

Enjoyed the changes in the weather from sunny to stormy and raining. we caught spouts and whales which was very exciting for us from Kansas. The redwoods were awesome. Thank you for the use of your home. We've enjoyed celebrating our 40th anniversary here.

Perfectly calm weather, very nice temperature and beautiful ocean views - can't beat that! We've loved our beach walks and tide pool searches. The kids loved chasing the waves, building sand castles, and watching the seals and sea lions. The playhouse and local playgrounds were also a lot of fun for them. Enjoyed eating food from the Thai House and the the Harbor View Grotto. We found the house very comfortable, only wished for a larger kitchen/dining area for feeding our crowd! Our beach cookout on our last day was a great way to top-off our week. Hope we can all meet here again next year!

We loved the ocean! We enjoyed listening to it, watching it, walking along it, and even getting in it! We found rocks, shells, hermit crabs, crabs, fish, and sea anemones,right across the street! We saw vultures and pelicans. It was a wonderful experience.
Away from the house, we were amazed by the redwoods. Thank you!
PS: The playhouse was a big hit!

We had a wonderful stay at Luna del Mar. The location couldn't have been better. Northern California is a special place to explore: the beach/tide pools, the Redwoods, and the emerald green Smith River. We collected some wonderful shells, beach glass and agates on Pebble Beach (amazing location since it was right in front of the house!) We keep them in a glass vase in our Living Room.
We really loved eating at the at the Beachcomber. Service was great, view was specatular, and the Parmasean encrusted fish was just delicious.
We also really loved the views and our two daughters loved waking at low tide each morning and exploring the beach.
Don't miss going to Ocean World and petting a shark. Our 9 year old has been telling everyone about it!!!!
Lisa Luna was very prompt in responding to all of our questions before the trip. We really loved that she placed a restuarant guide and other brochures for us to look through at the house. It was a nice personal touch.
Top Notch place to stay!!!!

Not only was this our annual family trip (3 generations of us), but we also celebrated a birthday and father's day.
Recommendations: Beachcomber Restaurant, Chart Room, Trees of Mystery, and Ocean World. We tried different beaches, but the one just across the road is probably the best.

The beach house is a great central location for all
these activities. We may return some day in hopes of

The fire places were very relaxing. Everyone had space to relax in. The walks on the beach were breath taking. The redwoods are the most beautiful and relaxing. I'm telling everyone we know about Luna del Mar! Luna del Mar was a true blessing to our family!Lisa Luna is a wonderful person to work with. Thank you again. We will be back to visit. |

Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely beach house. We enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful walks along the beach. We enjoyed Crescent City and the Redwoods. We enjoyed watching the seals while seeing the starfush clinging to the rocks.
This was great to be able to spend time with 3 generations of family here. The time together was wonderful - something you cannot replace. It is a vacation we will not forget! The beautiful sunrises and sunsets that we saw were a great reminder of God's handywork!

We had a great time. We celebrated our son's 8th Birthday. We also celebrated our 12 Wedding Anniversary. Our daughter Madison, age 4 and our son Jonathan had the best time playing in the kids playhouse in the backyard. The walk to the beach is just steps away from the house. We spent hours searching for rocks/shells/driftwood. Grandma and Granpa came too! They had a nice time connecting with their grandkids. The house is spacious. The kids played downstairs, the grown ups visited and cooked upstairs. The view was beautiful. Waking up to the ocean waves was spectacular! The house is just beautiful. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We really enjoyed it and will be back in the years to come!!!

We had such a great time! The house was perfect for us. With one or two bedrooms and a bath on each side of the lower floor and a living room that could be shut off too, even though we are early risers with two small children, our traveling companions who are later sleepers didn't hear us at all. The view from the kitchen window was breathtaking and the furniture was beautiful. Access to the beach was right across the street. The kids loved the two story playhouse and the yard was great for BBQ's too! We had everything we needed. The house was beautiful. Working with Lisa Luna was a very pleasant transaction too.

Thank you, Angela! You and your family were a pleasure to host! I would also like to add some comments you and your family wrote in our guest book at the house: ...What an incredible Beach House! It was the perfect place for our families to enjoy a special celebration of our parents's 50th anniversary! We were so blessed with how spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable this home is and look forward to returning again! The goregous view and delightful weather in between storms was the icing on the cake!...Surely the people who are yet to come will be able to identify many of the reasons we came up with, without enumerating them all. Simply said - "It's a perfect home - we'll be back!" And they did come back - for Thanksgiving 2006! Here are some comments from that visit: Another special time shared with our treasured family in less than a year, here at Luna del Mar. Our stay is just as beautiful as it was last March. We've once again enjoyed the changing view of the surf and sunsets, the sound of the surf throughout the das and evening is so refreshing and relaxing. This is a place that we enjoying sharing together now and look forward to in the future.
These comments are very much appreciated by my husband and I. We love staying at our home whenever we can, and feel blessed we have the opportunity to share the experience with others.
