We spent Christmas weekend with our adult children in this beautiful locale. Perched near the top of a steep hill, we had views of the ocean, the Pacifica pier, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The 3 BR/2 BA, and the large living and dining areas, worked out perfectly for the 6 of us. The interior was very nice--with wood floors, lots of built-ins, slate bathroom floors, and tasteful decor. With temps in the 40s-50s, the hot tub on the deck was a nice feature. I would recommend bringing bathrobes for making the trek back in the house when it's chilly. There was a free-standing fireplace in the master bedroom, which we wanted to use, but didn't have wood, or instructions, so we didn't. The kitchen was nice--a bit on the small side--but worked for us, and had all we needed. There was no exhaust fan for the stove, so we opened the window slightly when using. The beds were very comfortable; everyone slept well. The master bedroom was formerly the living room, so the porch light was on a wall behind the bed, which was a bit awkward, but manageable. You just had to be careful going back there so as not to knock the lamp off of the bedside table.
Our biggest problem was with the front door; we had difficulty turning the lock. WD-40 might do the trick; I don't know. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation. We traveled to Pigeon Point lighthouse, Half Moon Bay, and the pier, and got beautiful pictures. I'd recommend the pier for sunsets. The location of the house is perfect for so many adventures. Markus, the property manager lives next door, so he was always available if needed.
