Stephanie and Rene were great hosts and their backyard studio is an amazing place. You are given a spot to park in front of the house and have access down the side drive to your own private studio. The studio is very well done, has ample exterior lighting at night and all the needed amenities to have a comfortable stay. They provided muffins, fruit, and some drinks and yogurt in the mini fridge and coffee and tea. Stephanie and Rene or one of them was usually around if we needed something or had a question and would ask if we were in need of anything when passing by the main house. The location is great! or amazing or fantastic, pick a word, Its AWESOME! A few blocks walk and your down by the beach enjoying the view, passing by a park complete with the occasional grazing deer. Head the other direction a short 10 minute walk to a nice cafe. Your within a 10 minute drive of the city and 5 minute drive to shopping and eateries. Overall my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them and hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the future.
