We had an amazing Christmas holiday at Heidi's beautiful condo. It is spacious and cozy, well appointed, and full of character. Communication with Heidi was easy and prompt. Some of the highlights from our stay include: listening to the ocean waves crash on the shore as we slept; waking up to the sun rising over the ocean (took us a while to figure out how this was possible on the West coast :-); stargazing at night and the awesome views of the moon through the telescope provided; peaceful walks on the beach (many times we were the only ones there); swimming in the heated pool; and a special treat - we were able to watch a whale swimming not far offshore on Chrismas day. Our Christmas day feast was easy to prepare in the kitchen which was stocked with everything needed to do so. The location is great - far enough away from the city so that you can see the stars, but close enough that it's easy to get back into the city mix when you want to. Heidi's place was perfect for our vacation, we enjoyed it very much!
