When we arrived, we were greeted by Turiya, and she walked us through the house to make sure we knew where everything was and how things worked. I thought that was a nice touch. I don't believe that the pictures do the house justice, as it is much bigger than the pictures suggest. Everything is out well in the kitchen, and the backyard grill was great for grill nights outside, watching the surfers. We had some great discussions around the fire pit and heater after the sun went down. The house is walkable to Capitola and Pleasure Point and other great places to grab a coffee or take out. The beds were very comfortable. Both my mom and my aunt (both 80) said they had the most comfortable beds of all the houses we have rented over the years. There is plenty of space to be together or have some quiet time if you choose. Thank you for a great stay. We will be coming back again.
