We loved our stay at the beach hideaway. Close walking distance to a beautiful beach. My dog loved socializing with the other dogs there. I was worried about noise because of the close proxiimity of the houses, but it was very quiet the entire weekend. Cute outdoor sitting area, although we never used it. Had a great time at the Monterey Aquarium on Sat. I recommend the Behind the Scenes tour there. Had a lot of fun at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz on Sunday. Fun rides and not sleazy or tacky at all.

We cooked in so can't recommend restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes and cooking utensils.

My daughter thought it was small for 6 people. I thought it was fine, but she and her husband were the ones sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room area. Table folded out and was fine for the 6 of us.

Good notebook with instructions and restaurant/coffee places recommendations.

Terrific bed in the master bedroom, so comfortable.

I would stay there again if there are 2 or 4 of us, but probably not for the 6 of us.

Thanks Dore! Thanks for allowing our dog too, much appreciated!
