Rich was a wonderful host-- very warm, welcoming & friendly. Also very responsive & eager to make our stay comparable to a 4 star hotel. The house has been recently updated & is very comfortable. We loved the outdoor patio. Great for eating & relaxing. SoCal-- we HAVE to be outdoors as much as possible. Excellent location. Quiet neighborhood; 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. We are looking forward to a return visit.
