The house is ideally situated for explorations for the mountains and beach. Cindy met us at our arrival and was welcoming. The room is pleasantly self-contained and the adorning bathroom large. the patio was great for a quiet morning with a book and coffee. There was some dog-rumblings in the evening overhead, but as a dog-owner, this was no problem. The drive up the canyon is steep and hair-pin in places and the immediate road space is somewhat tight; glad I wasn't driving a larger vehicle!
