We had an amazing family vacation here! Lena was such a thoughtful, kind, responsive, and friendly host via messages back and forth and all of the wonderful amenities provided. We loved having access to beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas and information about the walking path to Hidden Beach. Our children loved the playground on the way to the beach and the walk was totally doable for our three young ones (ages 10, 8, and 3). The home is located within 40 min of Monterey and Gilroy (we made day trips to the aquarium and Gilroy Gardens) and even closer to Santa Cruz (although we never made it there, enjoyed Rio Del Mar and Hidden Beach instead). This home is beautiful, so neat and clean, and comfortable...like our home away from home! Highly recommend this home and host! Thank you again Lena and the cutest house on the block!
