This location is great if you like easy (walking) access to the beach and to nature, and want to stay out of your car. We used one tank of gas for the whole trip, including back and forth to Sacramento (we charged our plug-in hybrid twice at public chargers on Main Street) - there are so many hikes and beaches close by. The place itself is in a very quiet neighborhood, with open space right across the street.
The kitchen is the smallest one you're ever likely to have been in. I won't recommend this place to big-bodied folks; but we stayed 10 days and made it work.
