Helen and Jim were such lovely hosts, welcoming, friendly and helpful but completely unobtrusive. Driftwood is a beautiful property with lovely gardens and wildlife, an impressive view to the ocean and a safe, relaxing atmosphere. The studio was great, it had everything we needed and was warm and cozy. The location is really handy to the beach, restaurants and shops, close to the freeway but in a lovely treed residential area. Sammi was super friendly and welcoming to my small dog who was safe (and had the best time) in the garden with no fear of her escaping through a fence anywhere. I really loved my week and would definitely stay here again. Thankyou Helen and Jim! Oh and thanks Jim for staying up so late to meet me when I was delayed at the airport!
