My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Lisa's place. The location was perfect for us-- in between and a half hour or so from either Santa Cruz or Monterey. We loved that after a day of exploring, we could then spend the evening on the beach. It was a little cold when we were there (which we expected), so the fire pits on the beach were perfect-- my girls looked forward to s'mores every night! We really appreciated the beach chairs/sand castle gear/super easy access to the beach. The home itself was beautiful-- modern and comfortable-- and it had everything we needed. We hope to return!
