This house was perfect for us. It was adorable and in a perfect location. The house had everything we could have wanted and the hot tub worked very well, which was a nice surprise!! The beds we really comfortable with super soft sheets and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials which is important to us because we often prefer to stay in and cook dinners. We really LOVED the Farmers Market on Sunday right up the street and also LOVED the new little Italian market one block away. They had homemade pasta and desserts that we brought home and cooked up. We visited many beaches but my sons favorite was the beach at the end of the road from this house. We got a lot of use out of the beach tent and the chairs which all worked very well. That was so nice to see b/c so often, when we rent a house, the beach tent/umbrellas don't work and the hot tubs don't work. We really appreciated the guest passes to the aquarium in Monterey Bay and also appreciated the advice to go on the sunset cruise with O'Neill Charters where we saw whales. Shari was a perfect host and was easy to get ahold of. We would LOVE to come back again!!!
