We enjoyed our stay at the house so much, that my parents are thinking of planning future trips by themselves. The house is just as described with all the conveniences of being at your home (e.g. fully stocked kitchen w/ plates, cutlery, mixing bowls, plenty of linens). In particular, we enjoyed the outdoor areas as it has a wrap-around fully-enclosed deck, hammock, beach gear, and bocce ball court. The house is located in a family-friendly neighborhood. The location was ideal as it was close to Capitola.
Overall, it was a great experience. Colm was a great host w/ almost immediate responses to our questions. Loved the house manual, came quite handy for selecting places to eat.
