This really is a terrific location!! And such a cool older (but well cared for) home! You can see the bay from the front yard, and the ocean is a short walk (or bike ride) on a sidewalk closely lined with homes and yards full of character and charm - it felt like a neighborhood in Europe (with a beach vibe). We biked around a lot, and kayaked the bay, and made sure to visit the ocean every day (or night if we were too busy sightseeing). The cottage was a charming, comfortable place to rest (we liked the queen bed, and there are two twins in another room) and the kitchen was well equipped to make a meal. It was surprisingly quiet in terms of neighbors, and certainly no street traffic. At most would be a few random jets high overhead in the morning. If you don't want to get in touch with your inner truck driver, rent a SMALL car to fit in the attached car port that comes with the place. (free parking!)
