Pacifica

"We spent six nights here and had a great time. Owner very easy to communicate/deal with. Views were great and we were lucky with the weather with only one day of fog obscuring the views. Yes the freeway noise does clash with the crashing of the waves but it wasn't really an issue for us and no noise/very peaceful inside at night with windows closed. Neighbouring trees beginning to impede some views but again not an issue for us. House is spacious with lots of open space and natural light. We found it charming/quirky, comfortable and very relaxing. Kitchen/dining/living area a lovely room and we liked the layout given that we had 3 teenagers with us who each got their own room/space/privacy (and were happy with the WiFi & Netflix) but were all just off the main living area. Also really liked the privacy/location of the house which is not cut-off but in what seems a quiet neighbourhood where we felt very safe. The steep driveway could have been a challenge for me but it wasn't for my husband! Location just 20 minutes drive from San Francisco was a huge plus for us. The house is clearly a well lived in and loved family home with lots of personal items and artwork. It was clean, no sign of insects though yes it could do with some DIY here and there. The oven/pilot light being on all the time was a slight concern given that it is gas and the teenagers would have liked blinds in their bedrooms (didn't stop them sleeping very well). Yes outdoor/yard could also do with some work but our 2 boys enjoyed playing with the rebound net and your attention is focused on the great views when you go outdoors anyway - the deck area was lovely and outdoor furniture was fine. All in all we really enjoyed our stay in this house."
