Stefan's home is a truly restorative get away at the ocean. All the common spaces, and all but one of the bedrooms open toward the ocean, and the house is decorated in a simple yet comfortable fashion. We would have been happy never leaving the house (except to explore the wonderful path down to the private beach, where we saw amazing things during low tide, including a playful otter), but it was also a perfect spot from which to explore the length of the local California coast (redwoods, Santa Cruz, elephant seals at Ano Nuevo, Half Moon Bay, really good pie at Pie Ranch) and of course San Francisco and up to Marin and Muir Woods. Stefan was a pleasure to deal with and communicated well. (One note that others have mentioned - the house has internet, but it is a hotspot so it may not always be conducive to zoom-type needs if you need to mix a little work with vacation. We drove into the town of Pescadero for the zoom call one of us needed to take.)
