San Francisco Bay area: Elegant Pacific Ocean View, sleeps 10, gourmet kitchen

8/10 Good

"The house has a tremendous view of the ocean. It has plenty of rooms for a big group. The only problem we encountered was the battery that was low on the key pad, but the VRBO helped us get ahold of the host and it was replaced. It is not a good fit for children or vehicles that can carry a large family up the big hill with narrow road. We spent a lot of time protecting all of her beautiful belongings and art. The art when you first enter are nudes, so consider that with children too.If you don't have children along you can relax and enjoy the beautiful home. One thing that was not mentioned is that the house has tenants in part of the house that we were asked to be considerate of. That was awkward"

Our host thought about everything; from Starbucks coffee to beach chairs and towels.Very comfortable apartment, including the double air mattress. The shower was perfect too.Fabulous location across the street from Montara State Beach!Now back to the heat where the temperature is 30 degrees hotter!We hope to visit again!Thank you."
