SURPRISE SURPRISE!! The home is unassuming, but once you walk in, you are transported to an oasis surrounded by palm trees, an open fire and nature. Inside the home, we felt like were at home with many windows and an awesome view of the the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Tranquility (sans the screaming kids) was evident. The home has all that you need for a 4 day stay. The beds are LARGE and comfortable with adequate blankets. The home is set to preset temperatures (and they are perfectly set by the host, so don't adjust it!!) to adapt to the lower temperatures of the night. We especially love the skylight in the master bedroom, however, if you are the type that likes COMPLETE darkness when sleeping, use the other two bedrooms. I like being woken up by the sun as I am a morning person. Water flow is decent, takes about 2 minutes to get hot water (no biggie, but we are in a drought, so I am jumping in cold). The house is near the major road and Montara beach is golf swing away. We loved the beach, pristine (as they come for that part of the area) and not many people crowded there. So many trails to walk on (although we didn't as we had our small children with us). Overall, I highly recommend. Thank you
