Why they chose this property
Annette and Fred purchased this property more than 20 years ago when they decided to move out of the city of San Francisco and truly embrace living life on vacation.
This is a perfect relaxing home base for your Northern California, San Francisco, trip. The home is spacious and designed for entertaining. The retreat can comfortably can sleep six in three comfortable beds and three and a half bathrooms. Hot tub makes the relaxing even easier.

What makes this property unique
Placed up the hill from El Granada Surfers Beach (one mile) and Sams Chowder House (Restaurant and Bar) the weather is much sunnier, warmer and clearer than many locations in the Coastal area that are lower or closer to the ocean.
Location is often warmer than closer to the ocean. Average year round weather here in El Granada mid 60s to 70s during the day with strong sunshine most days. Evenings are cooler and may include stronger breeze, fog and at times drizzle.
