My daughter and I wanted to show our Parisian exchange student a beach city in Southern California. Our arrival was at sunset and we were so thrilled with how close we were to the beach (like a 3 minute walk). The ocean breeze was so refreshing after a long drive down the coast from Berkeley. Our home away form home was spotless, fully stocked and ready or our arrival (sadly, not always the case with other rentals we've had). I can tell that the owners spent a lot of time, energy and money on the updates, decor and the multitude of personal touches. Things that I personally appreciated... A stunning sunset each evening, a relaxing beach walk each morning, hours in between relaxing and enjoying. A rain shower head with my favorite shampoo and conditioner, beautiful linens and towels, a beach bag in the closet, sun screen and after-sun lotion, a wonderful sharp knife in the kitchen drawer, a press pot and great coffee, chilled water bottles ready to grab and go, beach cruisers, beach chairs, a garage for our SUV so we could park it/leave it and not worry about tickets, a quiet neighborhood and nice neighbors, a really perfect location with everything all around us. Seriously, perfectly perfect and you will not be disappointed! We will be back again!
