The location of the beach house was perfect. You are off of the very busy Pacific Coast Highway which makes for a much quieter experience. The beach was also very quiet with very low foot traffic. It's amazing to be so close to the ocean and the constant drumbeat of waves crashing was so relaxing. We also saw several pods of dolphins during our stay swimming by very close to shore.
The place had everything we needed. You are also really close to a shopping center with a Ralph's grocery store and a CVS for any items you'll need for your trip. There is also a UPS store close by in the event you need to ship any souvenirs home. The pictures of the place are accurate and it's your prototypical beach house built in the 50s/60s with Waverly's personal touch adding to the decor and ambiance.
Waverly was a great host who provided a lot of information about the house as well as recommendations for area attractions and dining. I would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area.
