My stay in this incredible home overflowed with joy and beauty. The ocean is literally right outside the door, and it filled my days and nights, since there is such an unbelievably expansive view. I awoke to the pink of sunrise tinting the waves, and ended each day on the deck, immersed in a glorious orange sunset. Meanwhile, my ears were filled with the songs of the waves and my eyes watched as the pelicans skimmed down to fish while the surfers rode beneath them. There is a fabulous beach just steps away in one direction, perfect for a morning walk, and the thrilling seal beach is a short walk the other way. Don't miss the seals because they are so wonderful and funny. An amazing treat! Another short walk brings you to Pearl Street, which is filled with great restaurants. I became addicted to the fresh fish at El Pescador. If you go, be sure to try the calamari steak sandwich.
Everything inside this perfect home is touched by artistic sensibility and brilliant design.The unit is like a collage of beauty, art, fine accessories, and clever placement. The Owner's bio says she is an artist, and her talent is evident. I have never been so happy and felt more at home than I did during my stay here, and I cannot wait to come back.
p.s. I used the Salem Transportation Company for airport transport and a ride to and from the (fabulous, successful, fun) whale watching expedition. They were professional, reliable, and much cheaper than a taxi. I never once wished for a rental car while I was in La Jolla, where everything you could wish for is within walking distance, including the Ferrari store if you have platinum tastes.
