What an amazing location! less than 100yd walk to The Red Bar, Choringos, and a few local shops. one more block a we were on the beach!
The house had more beds than we realized, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of amazing lighting. There were also a few beach chairs in the back yard we ended up using on a few of our beach outings.
We stayed 4 nights and 5 days.. and we only used the car once (to hit up a local fish market 6 miles away). We were able to travel everywhere on bicycle once we arrived otherwise. Seaside was less than 3 miles away, which was a relaxing ride along some nicely paved bike paths. and the north end of Grayton has several shopping centers, coffee shops, and restaurants as well.
Did I mention the kitchen was great? two full sized refridgerators available. We fully stocked one of them with food and used the other for beverages. The only (and I mean only) issue I had with the kitchen was that the knives were dull. When (not if) I go back to this particular property, I may bring a proper knife to help with food prep.
Otherwise, the dishwasher, washing machines, and all of the other appliances were in great working order. We used the drier a ton because in addition to beaching, there was lots of monsoon like weather during our stay.
The pool table, which at first was not even something I payed attention to, became an awesome place to spend time with the kids and family when the rain was pouring down. It definitely helped pass the time.
If you like to sit around, relax, and read, this house had loads of couches, chairs, and hidden corners to sit and enjoy as well.
I cannot wait to come back to Cole Bin with my family again!!
