As you've read in the other reviews, the pictures of the view are stunning and yet STILL fall short of how absolutely incredible the views truly are. We loved watching for whales, loved watching the sun set into the ocean, and loved sitting out underneath the stars (which rival our stargazing in the mountains of Colorado and near Yosemite National Park).
The only hiccup is that we had perceived that the yard was totally private, and therefore that being in the living room would be totally private. However, since the yard is shared, and there are no curtains or blinds available in the living room, it's possible for Paul to see in. He was COMPLETELY respectful and NEVER came over to "our" side of the yard, so I have no issue with how he handled himself. It was just a bit disappointing to have expected total privacy and discovered that the yard was shared. Perhaps we misread the description and it's our fault, so I'm not complaining. But I do want you to have an accurate view of what you're situation will be so you can have the best possible experience!
We would happily stay at Paul's place again, that's how wonderful it is. We would just have more accurate expectations this time and that would make our experience more wonderful overall.
