I was so looking forward to this stay for 2 days at the beach! Even though it was pouring rain and windy, when I arrived I felt immediately comfortable, safe, and warm. The amenities are tasteful and all clean and in working order. Chris was very responsive , especially about instructions and the availability of passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium about a 45 min. drive south. The sun finally came out so I walked around the village and found all shops that were open (many still closed from massive flooding of the town a few weeks ago) had friendly staff and open to conversation. I would not hesitate to come back to this cozy spot again.!
