This is the most beautiful neighborhood you will ever stay in through AirBnb! You're a very quick walk to the beautiful oceanfront Palisades Park where you can watch the sunset and enjoy beautiful views of the ocean, or take the stairs down to walk or bike on the path that runs along the beach (there's a bike rental right there) -- this is a beautiful, wide, uncrowded beach. Alicia has boogie boards, beach towels etc for guest use, as well as croquet, badminton and ping pong at the house. We spent time in the incredible outdoor space -- the pictures don't do it justice! There was a huge lavender bush in full bloom and an orange tree covered with oranges, which Alicia invited us to help ourselves to and we did -- delicious! The wisteria was in bloom and filled the yard with its wonderful scent, joined by the fragrance from the blossoms of another fruit tree in the neighbor's yard. We grilled outside one night and ate in the outdoor gazebo with the fairy lights on -- magical. We walked to the Wednesday morning Farmer's Market -- blocks and blocks of the most beautiful citrus, berries, flowers, artichokes, greens and baked goods. We walked to the Third Street promenade for meals several times, to another nearby neighborhood for the grocery store, and through the Palisades neighborhood for a great meal at Tallulah's. Alicia's place is super comfortable with two king beds and lots of thoughtful touches. We only saw Alicia briefly but she was warm and welcoming and I'm sure would have been very responsive if we'd had any issues to contact her about.
