Our time in the beach cottage was very sweet. We loved the feel of the space, the simple, but well stocked kitchen, the cozy loft and main floor day bed - both with very comfortable mattresses and down comforters, the private firepit and back deck and special little touches. Hearing almost nothing but the waves was also a huge plus. The space was very clean and clearly new and Matthew and Guliz were excellent communicators before our stay and available, but out of our way, during the stay. The neighborhood is great with several options for short walks to an amazing beach. And during the day we took a short drive on the coast to explore many of Highway One's highlights including Pie Ranch, Ano Nuevo State Beach with Elephant Seals, and Sam's Chowder House. We also got great massages right down the road at Cloud9 massage. Our only disappointment with the space with the shower, which has a system that only provided a trickle of hot water -- wish we had been giving a heads up about this, but the hosts said they are working to fix this for future guests. It was perfect for the two of us, but would be pretty cramped for more than two, unless you were quite comfortable in close quarters and with minimal bathroom/shower privacy.
