Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at Solstice house. The house is very roomy, with plenty of really lovely outdoor spaces to gather in (including a sweet garden patio and even a separate yoga studio!). We enjoyed being a short drive from the beach but away from the frenzy of PCH in the evenings. The Mediterranean style of the house is really charming and the jacuzzi in the master suite a great addition. We were well prepared for the lack of cell phone service ahead of time and the WiFi connection was fast so it wasn’t really a problem. The only complaints that we had was that there were a lot of bugs that somehow made it in to the house (even with screens on windows) and a lack of outdoor lighting which would have made evenings out on the patio a bit more welcoming. Chris was very quick to communicate and the kitchen was well stocked with high quality cooking equipment and coffee! Would recommend as a wonderful, rustic retreat!
