The house is a very short walk to the beach, pier, and a nice hiking trail. We absolutely loved the catio that's attached to the downstairs bedroom. The team of hosts was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Something to note is that the windows or doors do not have a screen. I didn't want to leave them open/cracked for fresh air in case mosquitoes or flies came in. It was not a big deal since it was mostly cold anyway, but I would have like the option for like 10 or 15 minutes per day upstairs. Downstairs was fine because of the catio option. Maybe Pacifica doesn't have flies or mosquitoes, and it's a mute issue? I would definitely return to this location if we ever visit again, and I highly recommend it.
