Very clean, well stocked home. Shower was amazing. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit. The walk to the beach was not far and provided great exercise going up and down the stairs. If you are a dog lover, the beach is off leash. We were able to see seals and a whale in addition to the pelicans. The house is conveniently located to Stearn’s Warf and the Funk Zone. We enjoyed the Saturday farmers market. Lots of great options for restaurants and wine tasting. Vons is conveniently located near the home which makes meals at the rental easy to prepare. The neighborhood is quiet and eclectic. The beds are comfortable and there were extra blankets for the cold sleepers.
