The Dome at Kitty and Michael's place offered me a much needed and swell retreat. I had a coupon from being a super host myself and glad this is the place i chose. Kind of everything I hoped for, quiet, safe, comfy, close to outdoor places I explored. I drove from San francisco and walked the coast at Wilder State beach, then went on to two of Kitty's suggestions - Capitola and Del rio beach. the next day I hiked at Nisene Marks State Park and back to the beach before "home" for dinner. Altho the Dome feels like you are way in the country and woods, you actually are very close to many places to explore. The Dome is small, perfect for me and they note a ladder to the bedroom/loft and it is steep. But once you are there you have a nice window out to the trees and I was lucky the second night it rained so I listened to lovely pattering all night, about as good as listened to waves. If you are looking for a get away, this is a great place. Jocelyn
