We love love loved staying at Ocean Front on Ocean View Blvd for our 3-day family getaway!!! We watched sea otters every morning from our front window sipping coffee with breakfast. Late afternoon, we explored tide pools across the street. The guys played a round of golf at the golf course 2-3 block away and we spent one day at the Aquarium. There was also an evening walk around the neighborhood. So convenient and fun!
The kitchen is well-stocked with basic spices, pots/pans, serving dishes, two coffee makers (drip and Keriug) small appliances, Brita pitcher, ice maker, a very nice gas stove/oven, microwave, plenty of good dinnerware, knives, etc. With one trip to nearby Safeway, we made all meals except lunch when we went to the Aquarium. There were games, puzzles, movies, binoculars, and Aquarium passes (2). In the garage there were sand toys, beach totes with towels, lanterns, kids table/chairs and a separate laundry room. Our 2 yo granddaughter was delighted to find bins of toys and books.
The first bedroom has a king size bed and a TV in the closet. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The back bedroom has a queen and a half bathroom with toilet and sink. Each bedroom has cozy warm bathrobes for guest use. Warm blankets, comforters and plenty of pillows in each bedroom. Also on the couch and chairs in the living room.
We were 5 adults, a toddler and an infant. We never felt crowded in the house. There is a large backyard with a gas grill and a fountain that you can turn on. The front view really is the very best! We kept the front blinds open when we were home during the day. The waves could be heard crashing from the front bedroom during the night - so cool!!
A nice welcome basket was in the kitchen with a few snacks and sparkling water. We went early in December and Christmas decorations were throughout the house. WiFi was available along with a printer, if needed. Great host with easy clear instructions. The house binder is thorough and easy to follow. No shoes allowed in the house - gotta keep all that sand outside where it belongs! I took pictures of every room when we first arrived so we could make sure everything was back in its original place when we left.
All used towels were washed and in the dryer as we left for home. Thank you Evelyn and her support crew! We would love to return and hopefully spend more time at this wonderful home!
