Weekend getaway with Chins
A perfect place for a weekend getaway with hubby and my Japanese Chins. The only suggestion is to reduce the bottom gate space between the Verbo yard and the neighbors yard. My dogs are small and could have easily slipped underneath to neighbors yard. I had to place table benches on there side against gate to cover.space.

Vaca House
We had a great stay, the only reason we gave it 4 stars was because there was a "ring/ automatic light camera" in the backyard. There were no shades or covering for the doors that lead to the backyard. it felt like we were being watched thru the back doors. Also, no blinds on windows,or no screen doors! Hard to open and let fresh air in without the bugs flying in the house. However, house was very nice and clean. Quiet location and you can actually see the beach and hear the waves!

Cute cozy cottage
We really enjoyed staying at your cottage. It is so well stocked, very peaceful and in such a beautiful location. There are so many nice touches in the whole house and plenty of room for our small dog to run around.

Charming home by the ocean
The property is a clean, cozy and functional spot near the ocean, in the charming city of Montara. The people and the alpacas are friendly, and the hiking nearby is just wonderful.
