We had a great 3 nights at the house. The house is upside-down in nature making the most of the view across the grass area to the sea. We had BBQs on the deck and it is a great area to relax at the end of each day. The house is around 40 minutes to Monterey and we visited the aquarium, although expensive was great, we also went whale watching which was an amazing experience. My advice would be to take sea sickness tablets! We travelled with 2 adults and 3 children (10, 11 + 16) and the house accommodated us well. Lori is a great host, was welcoming and very quick to respond. I would recommend this house as a stop off on route from San Francisco to LA although does not have direct beach access it was only 5 minutes away.
