Julie's house was perfect for my boyfriends surprise birthday trip. just me and him. the kitchen was bigger than ours at home! super comfy bed. its a close walk to the beach and there's plenty of stores near by as well. it's about 20 minutes by car to San Francisco, 30 minutes on the bus that drives right by her house. we tried the taqueria down the road, great food. all in all, it was a wonderful experience. if you're looking for somewhere quiet and quaint, this is it. ❤
