I stayed three nights in this beautiful little studio in Silver Strand. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and Gretchen and Donovan were on the property. They were both so incredibly warm and welcoming, I instantly felt comfortable and good about my decision to stay at this particular spot. The next couple of days were absolutely heaven. Because the beach is literally a hop, skip, and jump away (if that), I'd walk on the beach, sit on the beach and read, watch the sunset. I didn't drive much at all, as the kitchen is a lovely one to cook in, with everything you need (except the food, of course). There is a convenience market and a couple of sweet restaurants within walking distance...and if you need a Target or a Ralph's they're a short drive's distance. The light, airy, beach-themed environment of this beautiful apartment was super conducive to meditating, reading, journaling, cooking....just being. It allowed me to breathe and re-center myself from all the chaos of the LA life. I highly recommend this beautiful gem.
