My wife, dogs, and I loved the place and enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We really appreciated that Richard provided us with a bed, blanket and bowls for our dogs. The backyard and views are awesome and the pictures don't do them justice. There are a number of beaches a few minutes down the road and Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz are short drive away.
A few notes: 1) There's no cell service at the house (unless you have Verizon), which wasn't an issue for us, but something to keep in mind. There is Wifi at the house but don't expect to be able to stream shows or facetime. I was consistently getting around 5-10mbps; again, wasn't an issue for us, but something to keep in mind. 2) We spent a lot of time in the backyard playing with the dogs and enjoying the view and weather. There are a lot of bugs in the backyard and around the pond so bring bug spray or something if you plan on being outside for awhile. 3) The house is right off highway 1. Recommend arriving at the house while the sun is still out as the area gets pretty dark and foggy. 4) The house uses well water. Wasn't an issue for us, but something to keep in mind if you have a sensitive stomach. Richard did provide us with bottled water. 5) The kitchen has pretty much everything you need, so bring food and snacks with you. The house is a little remote and there's nothing in the immediate area.
Thanks again, Richard. Would stay again!
