It has versatile appeal: enjoy a romantic week or weekend for two or invite another friend or another couple. The house has a very versatile appeal : enjoy a romantic weekend for two or invite another friend or two. While it has a romantic feel to, it is at the same time very practical for family with young children or for family with teenagers. Because we are grandparents a toddler and babies, we have a few items that make it easier if you travel from afar ( porta-cribs and high chair etc... see photos) The House: Bright dinning room with beautiful DWR glass table opens to a large deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee, a great book with tea or an evening glass of wine. The kitchen is very well appointed. If you can't find it you don't need it:). Bar/table with two stools where one can talk to the cook or hang out while making a nice dinner. Green Leaf grocery store with organic produce a short ride or a walk away. You can buy fresh fish or crab at the fish market at the port or buy directly off the boat. Beautiful farmers market on Saturday also very close by. Master bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed and a small deck leading to a private side yard . Second bedroom has two twin beds that can come together as a king size bed ( let us know in advance) Beautiful wallpaper on one wall hung by David's son Robin Jerome (Stuckupwallpaper company) Living room with TV, couch and two nice chairs. Cabinet lighting gives a warm light for a romantic and relaxing evening. Amenities: Ping pong table Board games. 2 side yards area with picnic table and lounge chairs off the large deck on one side and lounge chairs on the other where you can play petanque/boules.

If you like, you can hike to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and enjoy a plentiful, famous brunch on Sunday or get breakfast any day. 3.5 miles hike away. 10 minutes drive. If you want to cook, Green Leaf Market is around the corner, featuring local organic produce. And of course, don't miss the Farmer's Market on Saturdays (a 10 minute walk). For Chocolate lover, Sweet 53 in the building next to the farmers market makes chocolate equal if not superior to the best Parisian Chocolaterie ( I can say so because I am French:). If you get there early enough, you can also get, during the stone fruit season, a tart that this expert Swiss owner makes herself and that are absolutely to die for and in limited supply. Restaurants: Flying fish, Pasta Moon, Mesa Luna in Half Moon Bay and La Costanera in Princeton, and of course, the Ritz Carlton.
