The Kook House is a fantastic place to stay (especially for surfers, given the large backyard and deck for wetsuits). I rented the house for a five-person business trip, and was really pleased by its cleanliness, comfortable/spacious layout, and amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils/plates/etc., there's a gas grill outside, and there are two grocery stores within a 10min walk, so if you wanted to cook here, it'd be totally doable. Plus, Mike is an excellent host -- generous, thoughtful, and passionate about his hometown, all while remaining respectful of guests' privacy. He made the stay a seamless experience.
