We just returned from a great stay here with our 3 kids, ages 10, 12 and 15. Everything was at least as nice or better than what we expected from the pics and description. Kids loved the backyard oasis -- outdoor ping pong and foozball, hot tub and s'mores around the firepit. We enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop with amazing views of the water every morning. Went for great morning runs into Capitola and Rio Del Mar. Spent some time on the beach with the boogie boards, sand toys, and beach chairs. Hiked among the redwoods in the Forest of Nisene Marks (easy 5 min drive from the house). Walked to Marianne's for ice cream a couple nights. Grilled some fish one night and smoked a tri-tip on another. A couple kids tried to teach themselves piano.
We took day trips to Big Sur and Carmel/Monterey. The location was a great starting point for those trips, and was also an easy drive from our initial weekend spent in San Fran.
Definitely recommend.
