The house was just lovely with all the artwork, great CD collection and a cat to add to the ambience. My husband and I came with the grandkids to have some family time. They loved taking care of Sudan the cat and also his visitor Black China. The fountain in the court yard added a wonderful sound to our stay. The house is on a frontage road with a bike path and then the highway. So the fountain gave a nice masking noise although the traffic was never really too noisy. We were even rewarded when a whole bunch of motorcycles sped by as we had breakfast and one guy did a wheelie. We all just gasped at once. Like watching Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson...our own Easy Rider. The beds were very comfortable and we opened the many windows to get a cross breeze and listen to the fountain. We walked to Beach Rd a short distance and then down that road to a rugged and secluded beach with a great sunset. Would have loved to sleep on the beach. It was so peaceful. A Safeway is just down the highway and turn west and go into Half Moon Bay which is full of wonderful restaurants and cafes and little shops. Warning that on Sunday the traffic was insane. We should have just walked into town as it would have been quicker. All the other days no problem. We were within walking distance to Sea Horse Ranch for horseback riding on the beach. We spent 6 days there and didn't have time to look at all Chris' art on the walls, the ceilings, the bathrooms, and even in the closet. Nor did we have time to listen to all the great CD's as we relaxed in the living room every night.
