This place is all about location-location-location. You can see and hear the ocean and access the beach with less than a minute of walking! We had the misfortune of booking our four nights during the atmospheric river storms of December 2022. We were happy to pay a premium price for a very, ahem, "historic" house when we thought we'd be spending all our time at the beach. Unfortunately the only time it didn't rain was the morning of check-out so we spent a LOT of time in the house. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook with ease. We had the fireplace (which doubles as a heater for the common area) on almost the entire time and it was a cozy thing to hang out around. Each bedroom had its own space heater so we were able to stay toasty. There were also sand toys provided which we would've used with the kids had it not rained. The small backyard was lovely and we imagined it would be very nice to eat meals out there.
