Our kids loved this house! It definitely looks like the inside of an old ship and I know they’ll never forget their stay here. It’s right on the most beautiful, peaceful beach. We collected all kinds of treasures on the beach. The wood stove does an amazing job of heating the top two levels, but the lower level gets pretty chilly, so bring extra blankets if sleeping down there. It’s close enough to Monterey that we went to the aquarium one day and the amazing Dennis the Menace kids park complete with paddle boats the next day. The kitchen is well stocked, but bring plastic or paper plates if you have young kids and don’t want to use the glass and ceramic they have. Very Memorable Experience!
