A home ON the Pacific Ocean
My family and I stayed at this property over Christmas holiday, during a Pacific storm - thus, I am not sure our stay was typical.This property is right ON the surf. At high tide, one cannot skirt between the foundation of the house and the ocean. I have video of the ocean splashing OVER the second floor balcony at high tide. At low tide, the surfers access their lauch spots via the breaker wall of the home itself.Most times of the year, this property is a great stay for everyone. The two non-master bedrooms are on the lower floor with window facing out to the ocean. All the appliances worked perfectly - it is clear that extrodinary effort was placed on updating and remodeling this property. The hottub worked perfectly. We had want for nothing.For our particular story... the stormy waters and high breakers at high tide were scary to say the least! There were times when I dared not open the door to the balcony. There were times when the breakers were so loud against the foundation/breaker wall that I thought "man we should have done Christmas in Arizona!" Once I realized (after a good walk around the property) that the pool did not slosh, there were no cracks anywhere to be seen, and the house had been stable for 100-ish years, we all relaxed and had a great time, enjoyed the elements... outside the house!This is a beautiful property in a very unique location. The town of Bolinas is quaint. Civilization is at least 30 minutes away. Perfect!
