This sunny yellow beach getaway was truly home away from home! At first I was looking for somewhere on the beach, but in Santa Monica the closer to the beach the more busy it gets. This was the perfect distance away from the action so we could relax, but so close that it was a quick drive to any beach or dinner or exploring. Even though the pier rides were closed due to covid, there was still lots to do and see and eat, and everyone in Santa Monica wears a mask. Steve and Wendy took extra precaution and greeted us with masks. I loved hearing the history of the older charming home and Wendy showed us around to make us feel extra comfortable. Communication was amazing whenever I had a quick question or needed something. We cooked dinner and breakfasts easily in the kitchen, walked half a block to get delicious and quality items from the co-op grocery. No AC wasn't an issue at all, the ocean breeze makes it way to the house and ceiling fans are enough air. We really loved staying at this cheery home and wish we had another night or two! I definitely want to stay here for another beach trip sometime.
