Sam was a great host. Very proactive: my son had his wedding in the area. Given how late we were getting in on Saturday night. He was kind enough to let us have a late checkout.
Totally worth the stay, I would be happy to come back.

There was a small communication problem with our host on whether there was an EV charger on the property. After a minor panic and inconvenience to grab our other car (since we were driving a Tesla), a phone call, a phone call to the host resolved our problem. There IS a Tesla charger in the driveway. The property is really cozy and convenient to the beach.

Enjoyed our stay
House is loaded with board games fire pit bar b que nice patio. Bed were comfortable. Nice new bathrooms. Overall a very nice place to start and end our days. Hosts sent perfect instructions and tips for the area.
Nothing about the house was bad. The only thing that could be taken as not great was the steep road to the property. But it is in the mountains with big tall trees right off the coast so the steep hill was worth it.
