Lovely Vacation House to Celebrate 40th Bday

The house is beautiful and comfortable, but it's the location that took my breath away. The house overlooks the ocean and every morning when I awakened and lifted the shades to see that view of the sea and sky I just basked in the beauty for a moment or three. My best friend and I stayed here with our husbands and kids for a birthday weekend and the location was just right for walks along the coast, tidepooling, and day trips to the marine center, botanical gardens, and redwoods. It would be lovely, peaceful and calming to stay in with just adults but it accommodated four children ages 3 to 11 just fine as well. I couldn't recommend it more.
