Overall the house is beautiful. We had a member of our group with mobility issues, though, and I didn't realize the extent of the challenge with the house for her. There is a bedroom downstairs, which I specifically chose as a criteria. However, there are 2 steps to get to the bedroom. Also, everything (e.g., kitchen and living room) else is up very steep stairs. On the clear days there was a distant view of the ocean, which was lovely. La Selva Beach itself, however, doesn't offer direct beach access. The area is also more of a bedroom community (i.e., no restaurants or grocery); it is quite but you need to drive to access any services. The living room is spacious, but there isn't any table space ... such as a coffee table. Again, though, the house IS beautiful ... and it is quite spacious.
