I give fair, honest reviews. If you want peace & tranquility, this is not the place unless you have kids. There is a play ground next to the fence & a busy restaurant/café across the street that is loud until about 11. If you are younger and don't mind the kids then this is the place for you. we did consider the fact that it was during summer vacation so there were extra kids around. I needed quiet. Owner is very present on the property, like weeding outside our bedroom window at 7am. She is VERY kind & helpful. She offers great suggestions. The place is well stocked except there is only a French press for coffee which we enjoyed but not practical for more than 2 people. There isn't really a place to sit and eat which didn't bother us but something to think about when you are planning meals. It could have been a bit cleaner. Floor was not mopped well, spiders & webs in ALL the rooms & windows, sills were dirty. If we didn't have our mother with us I wouldn't care as much but she notices EVERYTHING. There is a compost bin in the kitchen which was very appreciated. The shed has a TON of beach items to use. The hot tub jets were disabled because of "kids messing with it" so it was more of a hot bath. Muir Woods was about 15 minutes away -a must see. Would I go again? Maybe if we brought our grandchildren so they could play at the playground next door. Overall, you cannot beat the location. It is a few minutes across the street, through a parking lot to the beach.
