This house worked out extremely well for our family of four (kids are 4, 1) and my in-laws. Wonderful location - easy walk to the beach. Appreciated many of the items that we didn't need to bring - like pack n play, booster seat, and handful of toys + the wagon, beach chairs, and beach toys. The deck, grill, yard, and hot tub were great. We were comfortable and so happy to be together. Day tripped to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Santa Cruz, but liked having this spot as our base in a nice small town.
