Amazing stay!

This place was a dream! The views and location were terrific. We went down to the tidal pools, watched sunsets, and walked along the popular walking path in front of the house. We also walked to coffee shops and the brewery down Swift St. The home was clean and comfortable. Everything went totally smoothly and I would revisit in a heartbeat!
