The house was wonderful, everything and more that we were looking for in a family friendly rental. It was clean, comfortable and had some fun modern appliances (the kids particularly enjoyed the whiteboard screen on the fridge and calling out 'hey google, tell us a joke'). The kitchen was well equipped and it was very convenient to have the supermarket minutes away (because inevitably we needed just one more item). Having a washer and dryer was priceless, and the house even has a little backyard you can hose off in after returning from the beach. The location was incredible. Every morning we'd open up the family room blinds to beautiful ocean views and crack the windows to hear the waves crash (too cold in December to fully open the windows). The beach was minutes away and if you can handle the steep climb down and up, it is essentially your private beach. Pacifica is also an incredible location, 30 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge and exploring San Francisco, and 15 minutes from some great, family friendly hiking at San Pedro Valley Park. Arlene was a very gracious and responsive host. When we had some trouble accessing the house, she was immediately available and fixed the problem. All in all a wonderful family vacation!
