This was a charming beachfront home, perfect location for our mini-family reunion/vacation. And after living in Europe for 5 years, it was also an ideal way to spend some time with my old friend, the majestic Pacific! Summer surf is perfect for body or kite boarding (w/ wetsuit of course), surfing is probably better in winter. Beach volleyball court right out front (regulation - no joke, antennas and everything for local league play). Local markets were overpriced, I don't mind overpaying for convenience, but it well exceeded that, so seriously bring what you can. Local restaurants (specifically Parkside and Breakers) were phenomenal in quality and menu variety, and dog friendly. Only downside on the property was hot tub didn't work, which seemed to be a long standing/known issue (20 year old tub), property management didn't do much besides quickly quote the rental contract disavowment clause for maintenance and Heisman you to deal with the repair company directly, at least they were very responsive and it appears a new hot tub will soon be on order for this property for future renters. But you can tell me how that works out later...
