Amazing stay!

This place was a dream! The views and location were terrific. We went down to the tidal pools, watched sunsets, and walked along the popular walking path in front of the house. We also walked to coffee shops and the brewery down Swift St. The home was clean and comfortable. Everything went totally smoothly and I would revisit in a heartbeat!

Lovely Vacation House to Celebrate 40th Bday

The house is beautiful and comfortable, but it's the location that took my breath away. The house overlooks the ocean and every morning when I awakened and lifted the shades to see that view of the sea and sky I just basked in the beauty for a moment or three. My best friend and I stayed here with our husbands and kids for a birthday weekend and the location was just right for walks along the coast, tidepooling, and day trips to the marine center, botanical gardens, and redwoods. It would be lovely, peaceful and calming to stay in with just adults but it accommodated four children ages 3 to 11 just fine as well. I couldn't recommend it more.

Beautiful views and great location

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! You can take walks along the ocean cliff both during the day and at night, when you can listen to relaxing sounds of crashing waves. The house is a bit on the older side but the views cannot be beat. The house is also very close to many great coffee shops with locally roasted beans.
