Super cute place.

Stayed there for about 5 weeks while having worked done on our house. Really, really nice place. Great inside / outside living areas. Great location; walking distance to great restaurants and bars. Highly recommend. PS -- Meli, the property manager, is great to work with.....professional, friendly, and responsive.

We recently stayed at the beach bungalow for a little more than a month and we absolutely loved our stay. The location was fantastic - quiet, safe and an easy walking distance to beaches and lots of great restaurants and shops along the Coast Hwy. And we always found street parking right in front of our property.The bungalow was spacious and beautifully appointed inside, with everything we could want to make our stay easy and comfortable, especially in the kitchen, as we cooked in quite a lot. In addition, the outside spaces were truly special. The succulent gardens were gorgeous as were the views. We loved eating outside most days and just spending time on the patio.Meli, the property manager, was so nice and friendly. She was very attentive and answered any and all questions promptly. Overall, we highly recommend this property and hope to return soon!

Nice house, safe neighborhood

This house wasn’t really clean and the kitchen (although looking good in photos) wasn’t really as functional as I’d hoped. The finish on the countertops is sticky. Overall, it wasn’t very comfortable. The patio is arranged nicely but the upholstered furniture and pillows stays dusty…no fun. The shower head needs to be replaced and the whole bathroom could use a total redo. The washer and dryer are very nice. It’s an ok floor

We are grateful you chose our home for your two month stay. We're sorry to hear the kitchen layout and bath aesthetic didn't work as well as you'd have liked. We pride ourselves on providing guests with exceptionally, neat, clean and well-equipped spaces and conducted thorough pre-arrival and mid-stay cleanings. Being close to the ocean and beach brings pesky dust, sand and dew to seating areas and glass tabletops which is a side effect tough to avoid. We'll look into the bath shower head to make sure it's operating properly and replace if needed. Thank you for your feedback, it's very much appreciated.

About the host

Host profile image

Originally from the east coast, we relocated to California over 30 years ago and lived in this special neighborhood over 10. We love the weather and the proximity to great beaches, surf and inland trails. We're also travelers, lovers of the mountains and since covid, now spend most of our time in the Teton valleys of Idaho and Wyoming. Sad to say, our life and work only occasionally takes us back to the Leucadia bubble, so in the meantime, we're happy to open our home to like-minded travelers who appreciate unique spaces and communities!
