Better than pics and beyond expectations for cleanliness, thoughful details, proximity to beach, hiking trails etc. A great hub to Carmel, Monterey, Santa Cruz and Big Sur. We had a few questions on how things worked and response was near immediate each time. There were 4 of us travelling and there was plenty of room and amenities such as beach towels, boards and even a wagon if you have little ones. The kitchen is well stocked. Lots of board games and a projection TV that makes every night a movie night. The deck is great to sit and relax and faces a small ravine for great privacy. We would definitely return if visiting the area again.
