Julia's house is wonderful. The kitchen is fantastic. The whole house is immaculate. The beds couldn't be more comfortable. It's situated on a quiet street, but a short drive (less than an hour) to Carmel and Santa Cruz. For San Francisco or Big Sur it's just a little over an hour It was perfect for us because after only a short drive we could explore a different coastal town each day. She has a great Hot Tub, Grill and Fire pit. I especially appreciated the master suite on the first level. We could escape from the kids and have everything we needed right there. You have access to a beautiful beach and will most likely be one of a handful of people there. It couldn't be any nicer.
