St. Joan's is brilliant.
It serves as a more-than-welcome antidote to all those soulless places you've stayed in across the state. Full of Barb's collection of 1960's and 70's chic/kitsch, it is a glorious mix. Plus her own fabrics. It is also supremely comfortable: the chairs, sofas, and the bed. The bathroom is of its time, but does actually include a bath, for those who really want to relax. I commend also the lighting, so rare to find this actually pleasant. All told, this place has 'hygge', the Danish word meaning coziness and comfortable conviviality, in droves. Arriving at the end of the day, with the sun streaming in, we opened the door and took the bottle of wine and snacks she provided through the native garden out to the deck in the back overlooking the ocean. It is a superlative view.
The Eagles' Hotel California is there in her vinyl collection...'You can check out any time you like, but you may never leave'.
