I really enjoyed the privacy. Even though entered through their home, it was only a few steps to the stairs leading to my upstairs private suite with bathroom, bedroom, and a small kitchen. Views from the kitchen overlooking the water were wonderful, with different birds each time I looked outside. The home was so quiet I hardly knew anyone was home. Also very convenient to local stores, such as grocery store, restaurants, Target, Staples, etc. And an easy ten minute drive to Sunset State Beach for afternoon walks along the shore. Wonderful time.
