Michael's place is a wonderful, artsy, fun little house. It is actually bigger than I thought it would be from the pictures, with plenty of room! The home is full of artwork, and the inner outside areas are covered in artwork as well. The front deck is a huge boon, and we entertained guests for lunch in the middle of a fun beach day.
This is the kind of place where people donate stuff at the end of their trip, so there are some extras like a few games and books. We contributed to the community feel by adding a few sand toys and some bathroom supplies.
The living room has 2 couches and is large. The bedroom is a good size, there is plenty of seating throughout and a good sized bathroom. The kitchen has new cabinetry and is well stocked with many things you might need including all dishes, spices, and some food basics. The internet is great. It has a small TV in the front room and another in the bedroom.
The bakery next door is fantastic if you want breakfast or lunch out. We didn't try them at night, but they have fabulous food and are pretty much always busy, so I'll bet that is great, too. A grilled cheese on their homemade sourdough can't be beat!
There are plenty of easy drive beaches. We walked to the one across the street. It requires a bit of climbing to access, but nothing too crazy. It is a very pretty little cove. We were there in the evening on a Sunday and there were a lot of partiers on the beach (teen- college age), and lot of trash (there were people there on Monday cleaning it all up). We were the only ones not there to party. We opted to go to other beaches for the rest of our trip.
I highly recommend the beaches to the north, including Pescadero, and checking out the redwoods at one of the local forests.
