Absolutely the perfect place to stay if you are planning some time by the ocean. Located walking distance just a block from the sea and plenty of fabulous restaurants. The home has everything you need and was impeccably furnished. I highly recommend the stay. The host was very communicative and we arrived to beautiful baskets of foods and snacks for both us and our dog! Super great touch. Perfect 10.

Within minutes you'll find fabulous boutiques or big box store shopping, outstanding restaurants, wine tasting, hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, whale watching, or relaxing on the patio by the firepit enjoying the ocean air.

What makes this property unique

Serendipity Sands has everything you need to have all the comforts of home in one of California's best little beach towns and hidden gems. Oprah said it's the happiest place in America.
