This was heaven. It was outside the budget we set, and so worth it. The location is amazing--it was central to things we wanted to do, but we liked the beach so much we, especially the kids, barely wanted to leave (remember this is a northern California beach, so chilly unless it's heart of summer). This long stretch of beach surrounded by pristine dunes was almost secluded. Beautiful windows look out onto the dunes and tips of waves. The owner was great to communicate and work with. The home is great--4 adults, an 11 year-old, 9 year old, 5 year and 15 months, and all were completely happy. The home is well stocked and appointed, they seem to have thought of everything.
