"PERFECTION" is the word that comes to mind! Norman is friendly, helpful and welcoming from first contact! And what a treasure his house is! Spotlessly clean. New appliances, fixtures, bedding and towels! Everything you could wish for plus bonus surprises like the tree house and children's seating. Check out the happy seals sunning as you sit on the gorgeous deck. We will miss the comforting song of the fog horn! We love HMB Main St. shops and San Benito"s famous sandwiches! When you pay, tell the beautiful Swedish mermaid Marie "hello". Fitzgerald Tide pools were at their very best...we even had Hermit crab races! The numerous seals kept a watch on us. Montara Light house is a charming New England like stop and Montara beach is spectacular besides being less crowded. Seeing all the whales with their calves migrating North was enchanting! We drove south of HMB to discover a jolly good English adventure and dinner at Cameron's one night. Kids had fun. Superb food at Barbara's Crab Shack is only a stroll away, gelato nearby at Cafe Luna and delicious grilled cheese at The Press across Cabrillo. Don't miss the view, Ghost of the Blue Lady and magnificent menu at Moss Beach Distillery. When you have a struggle to leave this house on the last day, you know that a return is the only cure! What a sublime time we had and BRAVO to Norman for providing such a grand impressive place to enjoy!!!
