Tremont Villa is amazing. We had 7 people, 2 were toddlers. There was plenty of space, tons of thoughtful touches, like garage door openers instead of having to get out and use the keypad. The beach is close as many have stated, pop a few blocks down the hill and your toes are in the sand, however you don't have the constant traffic because, while right in the middle of everything, Tremont Street is mostly quiet. The neighborhood is so convenient, it's close to everything, great local restaurants and shops. We went to the beach, Legoland, Stone Brewery, got our kids surfing lessons, and rented a boat on the harbor. Tremont was our hub and our refuge, it made us feel like we all had space; It was very relaxing and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone, Jody was great to work with and help us out in every way should could from local travel guides to the great wagon in the garage. If you're going to stay in So Cal with a larger group and want to be near the beach and attractions don't look further than Tremont.
