I agree with the other renters, it was great staying here at the Nest. We were there for over a month and liked it so much we even looked at places for sale in the community. We'd definitely come back.

Even though it was a horrible heat wave during September, while we were there, and there is no ac, it's surprisingly tolerable with all the doors and windows open. We only had two semi rough nights, but understand that was with very odd temperatures of over 98 degrees.

It was just my hubby and myself there, so it was a nice quiet time. You will have some neighbors around, but for the most part, they are very respectable and quiet. You do get some odd weekend renters there off and on who aren't used to being quiet and that can be interesting. It helps to use your library voices around there, unless you'd like your neighbors to be part of your conversation. Everyone has their windows open, most of the time.

The owners of the Nest are a pleasure to deal with and really keep the place up to their own standards as they also stay their part of the time when not renting out.

The place is every bit as lovely as the pictures describe, they keep it very clean and it's a great place for folks like me, that like it hypoallergenic, non-smoking and pet free.

I think if you are a respectful and quiet vacationer you will be very happy here. The beach is beautiful and quite a walk down and quite the walk or run up (think steep and long) if you are in very good shape. I walked it, hubby ran it. lol On the weekends from Sept-May you can take the funicular back up the hill from the beach and it does run all summer.

Side note: Angelina's is a great pizza place in the area, they are from Italy and make true Italian pizza, right on down to the imported flour, espresso and other items.

It's hard to write this review because we want to go back, and it's funny I feel oddly protective of the owners so treat them right! :) They're good folks and they'll treat you right.
