I stayed with Carrie for 3 months while working in the area and had a blast. Really enjoyed the nice spacious room and private bathroom, not to mention the upstairs balcony during the hot summer months. The place itself is a few minutes from the ocean and walking distance to the pier which made for nice evening walks. Parking is a bit of a pain during the busy tourist season, but there's plenty of parking all over. There's also tons of great food and bars nearby - perfect walking distance to Ercoles on bogo burger Wednesdays (best bar burgers ever). Overall, a great spot in the South Bay, and Carrie was an excellent and generous host.
