The cottage is ideally located in the sunny valley above San Gregorio beach (don't miss out on the live music and cocktails at the 'San Gregorio General Store'). There are several remarkable State and County Parks nearby, we hiked in Purisima Creek and Portola Redwoods State Park. That, combined with the first-rate microbreweries nearby (Half Moon Bay Brewing, Hop Dogma, and Highway One brewing) and great food (the taqueria in Pescodero and many fine restaurants) makes it a perfect combination for those who like that particular combination. Also, you can't beat a comfortable bed, and croissants/cinnamon buns. I could have stayed a week, alas, I am back to the 'grind'. Which reminds me, Joanne even provided some coffee.
