We had such a lovely stay in the Garcia's home! The kitchen is wonderful and well equipped with everything you could possibly need for preparing meals together. We made an amazing pear crumble from the neighbors pears dropping by the front door and we also enjoyed the garden and tomatoes immensely, they were delicious!!! We had three small families with small children and were able to live comfortably together and have all of our children entertained and happy. There are lots of toys and fun things for the children to do. The hot tub was a really nice way to end our days. The bedrooms and beds are extremely comfortable and high quality. We enjoyed the flat screen and watched "Lost Boys" which was (amazingly) delivered by a local video store. There is not a lot of seating in the living room but plenty of pads and bedding to make it cozy!
We never walked to the beach as it was a bit more of a trek than we were anticipating, this is definitely more of a neighborhood home than a beach house, but the playground and skatepark are really great to have near. The neighborhood is in close driving proximity to Downtown, the Boardwalk, Capitola and several nice beaches, great central location!
We are so thankful to have been able to stay together this week and so appreciate the Garcia's opening their home to us!
