The views were amazing and the beds were super comfortable. The two suits are not connected however you have to go outside and around the building to get to one of the bedrooms which is fine. Some issues with the wifi but that was eventually resolved with the host. Appeared to be pet friendly and the kitchen was well equipped although some of the dishes could have been cleaner

West Coast get away

Great location (we went to French Beach, China Beach and rode our bikes on the Galloping Goose up to Leechtown all in one day). Very clean and modern. Had everything we needed. Nice rocky beach accessible from the property.
