Q: What is the coffee situation?

...

A: We allow up to 2 adult dogs of any breed or size. (No puppies!) We do have a standard Pet Fee of $200. Additional dogs may be considered on a case-by-case basis. And your dogs will 💛 our expansive backyard, with easy direct access from both bedroom balconies!
...
Q: Can I bring the kiddos?
A: Children ages 2-12 are generally not allowed due to the fine art in the house and other breakable artifacts. However, we DO welcome babies and teenagers. For babies — we also provide a very nice crib, and a baby gate by the stairs.

A: No, most days highway noise cannot be heard. There are some very rare exceptions, but day-to-day traffic is generally not audible inside the house.
...
Q: Is Highway 1 within view of the house?
A: No, thankfully it is not within view. All you will see is the lovely Carmel forest, the ocean, the Carmel Valley hills, and Point Lobos in the distance. 🌲⛰️🌊
