The neighborhood is great and it's an easy walk to Seacliff beach, although down a large staircase so taking the wagon was not a great idea. The beach is very rocky, but if you walk to the left you get to Rio del Mar beach which is much better for swimming.
The house is well appointed and comfortable. The rooftop desk is great - we enjoyed taking our coffee up there every morning, and the deck off the kitchen was a great place to hang out as well. It's a great location, easy to get everywhere.
