Abi is awesome. The home itself is cozy, very clean, and comfortable. It is not drafty like so many beach homes. Space heaters and extra clean blankets. Great bedding, very comfortable. The spa was fabulous. The primary bedrooms are on the lower floor, connected by a spiral staircase to the upper floor. A person who has mobility issues (or a very tall person) might have a little trouble with that, but it was safe for kids and they LOVED the bunk. The views are unobstructed and breathtaking, in a private lovely neighborhood and the beach is right in front of the home. You can easily access the private beach via a set of steep staircases (which would give a person in good health a reasonable workout but our six and three year old children did great). The location of this home is perfect. We will stay here again hopefully, because it is in easy reach of Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Capitola but not plagued by the busyness of these areas. Our best days were spent just at this home enjoying the beach and views, cooking meals in the lovely kitchen and taking walks around the neighborhood after many hours at the beach.
