The online pictures really do not do Richard's Cottage justice! It is very spacious, beautiful and well equipped inside and the outside is even more beautiful. We spent long hours just sitting on the deck, reading our books and enjoying the views of the pond and the ocean in the distance. The perfect space to just relax! At night you can hear the surf in the distance and otherwise it is super quiet. We also went hiking and visited the nearby small village of Pescadero which offers a couple of rustic restaurant and laid-back stores. We'd come back in a heartbeat if the opportunity arises.
