Karen's place was a lovely stay for us. It will be very hard to beat the ocean views with any other place. You're literally about 15' away from the edge overlooking the ocean. One of our favorite things was the small and short single track trail that was accessible from her back yard which ran along the cliff overlooking the ocean. We spent every morning out there enjoying the ocean views and drinking coffee on the deck.
The place was very clean with small instructions around to make sure you find your way easily around her place. The lack of central heating wasn't an issue for us even in the dead of winter since the space heaters and wall heaters worked very well and kept all of us warm. It was a bit chilly when we arrived, but after about 30 minutes we had the whole place feeling very comfortable.
