The location of the property is as described one block from the bay and about 3 blocks from the Pacific ocean, and it was very convenient to be able to wake up in the morning and either walk or bike ride to either. The patio area is perfect for getting together with family, although could use a little bit of a face lift...newer patio cushions and plants to cozy it up. The living room and kitchen area are just charming...gave you the feeling you were at the beach...the bedrooms could use a little love and attention. They are very clean, but newer furniture and perhaps updating the comforters to give it a warmer more inviting feeling. Bryan is a wonderful host, and truly does make sure you have EVERYTHING you need to have a wonderful vacation i.e. beach umbrellas, bogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels are plentiful. The kitchen is very fully equipped. The place is kept very very clean. A little updating in the bedrooms and maybe the front porch and you have a Five Stars. Thank you, Bryan for a wonderful little summer get-a-away.
