This is a perfect place for one person, a little small for two. An ideal retreat either to walk on the beach, write, read, rest, or easily get to other locations around the bay (Santa Cruz, Filoli Gardens, Palo Alto...). There is a good grocery and a great Indian restaurant, and a funky thrift store right there in El Granada. You're 10 minutes from downtown Half Moon Bay, but frankly I got tired of the commercial attractions there in an afternoon and much preferred the "real life" feel of El Granada, especially walking on the beach in the early morning in the fog.
