The listing was fairly accurate and the house was cozy and quiet. At the end of the street with plenty of parking in their circular driveway. The beach is so close, we walked down several times a day and with two toddlers, it was convenient to be so close. The only variance from the description is the backyard, which hasn't been cleaned up yet for the summer. I originally thought it would be a perfect place for the kids to run around and play, but it hadn't been trimmed in a while. Being so close to the beach, it turned out to not be a big deal at all. The kids were rarely at the house with enough energy left to do anything except eat or sleep anyhow.

Only 40 minutes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was a lovely day trip with no traffic heading South! I'm so glad we decided to stay here instead of Santa Cruz.
