The stay in Anna's house was a special one. My family, my sister's family from Bay Area reunited with my parents from Japan. My sister and I each had a little toddler with us, and it was special to be able to stay in one home, share the moments with grandparents in a well equipped house. My dad had a back problem, so it really helped that there is a room/bath downstairs, and restaurants and shops were in walking distance (10-15min). There are also parking lot by the beach for $1.25 per hour which is unthinkable in Bay Area standard. We didn't end up cooking much, but there were good sized kitchen. We had a little trouble with bathrooms, but Anna was very responsive. We were able to use snorkels, and floats from her storage. They even had a surf board and strollers. There are a park nearby in case kids get bored as well. Overall, the family trip was great thanks to Anna's house.
