Best Family Christmas in California
Review Submitted: January 21, 2012
Date of Stay: December 2011
Our family of 6 (hubby, myself, three sons & 1 daughter-in-law) fell in love with Ed's beautiful retreat by the Pacific Ocean the 5 days we were able to relax together there! The pictures are exactly how they appear, & in fact, being there is even better. With three guys 6' 2'' - 6' 3" we greatly appreciated the tall ceilings, and spacious sofas, extra long beds, tall showers, and space to spread out after sight-seeing almost each day. The weather was exceptionally beautiful for this time of year -- sunny & in the low to mid-60's each day, which made the views each morning and evening spectacular! The sunrises were picture perfect, and as so many others have commented, it was a thrill for we mid-Westerners to watch dolphins & sea otters floating not too far from all of the surfers in December no less, & soak up the walks along the beach! The design of this second story plus the deck was very high-end, including the perfect kitchen which made it convenient for breakfasts in the morning, and a few evening dinners as well. Coffee out on the deck each morning was my personal favorite!! All amenities that one would want or need are provided! Sightseeing trips via a rental van included sightseeing down to Big Sur, Carmel, & the breathtaking coast of Hwy. #1, plus Ano Nuevo State Park to view the elephant seals & soak up the gorgeous Pacific Ocean views from there. We've been to Santa Cruz two years ago while visiting our son who lived in San Jose at that time, so would recommend the boardwalk & beach area. The sounds of the ocean were soothing & relaxing at all hours of the day & night! Ed's place spoiled us for any future trips we might make. When retirement comes in the next few years, my hubby & I would definitely love to spend a bit longer time right here!
