The house was cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the porch. When the tide was up, we'd have our coffee and beer with the sea lions, seals and gulls. We even saw a bald eagle catch a fish right in front of us. During low tide we walked the beach looking at shells, rocks and pikes of driftwood. The walk between the parking area and the house wasn't bad at all, but we had pretty good weather while we were there. I can see how this wouldn't be much fun if it was raining, you had a lot of luggage or groceries or if you weren't in decent shape. The only complaint we had is that the listing states that there is a wood burning stove, but guests aren't allowed to use it, which you don't learn until you check in and read the binder. The heater was more than sufficient to warm the home though.
