Had a wonderful time with our children and extended family, in a very quiet and relaxing location! House had 2 levels, allowing one family to sleep upstairs, while we stayed on the main level. And the water views on a sunny day are really relaxing. Using the grill while watching the waves crash was so enjoyable.
Beach was literally a 2 minute walk, with a cute beach restaurant in between for food and drinks as well. Grocery shopping is about 3 miles away in Half Moon Bay, as are some of the fast food staples. Plenty of great other restaurants in El Granada and Pacifica too.
We were able to easily visit several of the San Francisco (proper) tourist locations, hopped over to Palo Alto, Santa Clara, San Jose and even Sausalito and Mill Valley with ease. Always about an hour drive each way.
Remember that this is on the ocean, but fog is going to be present this far up the California coast. The cool evenings were AWESOME in July, as we were leaving 90+ degree temperatures back home. And when we wanted sun, we jumped to the other locations as I previously mentioned.
Plenty of cooking and eating space, and a large living area for just hanging out.
Stephanie and Melanie were incredibly fast in their responses to any questions we had.
Highly enjoyed our time!
