We enjoyed a small gathering of family and friends at Adorable Sea House for my brother's 65th birthday, and it couldn't have been a more perfect venue. First, the location. Stunningly beautiful. Easy access to a bayside walking path that carries you in one direction toward Lover's Point or in another toward downtown Monterrey. A high-end grocery store is around the corner. The amazing International Market only slightly further and serves up the best falafel+ platters and baklava you'll ever eat. More far-flung locations only matter if you can get yourself off the living room sofa, which is pretty challenging because the inside view is so captivating and the furniture will nestle your group with hors d'oeurves and cocktails like five fingers in a glove. The sofas were maybe a little challenging for some of the more infirm members of our group to get back out of as they're pretty squishy, but while you're sitting there's nothing but satisfaction. We did a lot of cooking while we were there, and we never wanted for anything when preparing food. Cooking basics, baking sheets, pans, utensils, pretty dishes could be found in the cabinets. Likewise, paper products and towels and such were in good supply and wherever you might need them. A laundry room was conveniently situated where you could easily refresh whatever you might have messed up while there. Comfortable beds, pleasing decor, a bottle of wine awaiting your arrival. The only house feature that proved to be a problem for our party (with its knee injuries) were the front steps, which are a bit steep, include no hand rails, and can be damp from the bay waters. We had to be very attentive when descending the stairs. Otherwise, our stay at Dean's place was practically perfect in every way. We may make a stay over at Adorable Sea House a yearly tradition!
