I don't usually give 5 stars, but this place was excellent. We stayed here for only 3 nights, unfortunately didn't have time for longer, but we would have stayed longer in a heart beat. The location is lovely, with the waves crashing outside the downstairs living area and the upstairs master bedroom, which allowed us in the afternoons and evenings to watch "TV", the ocean, the sunset, the birds flying by, and the waves crashing. Who needs TV when you have that!? We also fell asleep to the sounds of the waves, best sleep in a long time. Also the mattress was firm and supportive, not hard. The house has tons of windows so well lit, and while the street is not far from the house, it is quiet, tho Highway 1 is also there, but open the windows to the west, ocean side, and never hear any car noise. The place was large and would have easily held two couples or a family with lots of places to sit and eat and play games, many of which were supplied by the host, as well as jigsaw puzzles and books galore. There was some food to eat, like spaghetti that others had left behind, and then some nice cookies and coconut water left as a welcome gift. Everything was clean and smelled nice.
The only thing would be the lack of counter space to prep meals, but there were tables in the front room to use instead. It is an old house, as witness the cupboards and kitchen, but it was actually charming, I almost expected an egg drawer.
The host had a book for suggestions of eating and activities, plus the rules, of which there were only a few and quite reasonable. We didn't even have to empty trashcans or strip beds to check out.
There is a bluff trail outside the back gate, and a deck in the back yard overlooking the ocean. The bluff trail is short, but if you like to walk along the cliffs, it is possible to walk all the way to the huge golf ball over the Harbor, which is actually some sort of Air Force station. It is about 3.3 miles one way, and other then a little road walking past the bluff trail, it is along dirt and well used trail.
I highly recommend this place!
