Jan and Dale were wonderful hosts and made our 1st experience with airbnb amazing! Truth be told, I believe we are now spoiled by the wonderful care we received, and are already planning our next stay with them! They were both extremely warm and welcoming! They were also very accommodating with our evening arrival and our family dog. From the minute we drove into the neighborhood we felt safe - as if we were home. The quiet neighborhood is lined with charming style craftsman homes that are well cared for and is close to the Colorado Lagoon, golf course, quaint shopping/restaurants on 2nd Street, freeways and the beach. The cottage was beautiful, serene, spotless and extremely comfortable, with a private gated entry & patio. We can't wait to sit out on the patio with a bottle of wine and appetizers on our return trip. The studio has all the wonderful comforts of home, and then some! From the minute we walked in, we could tell this was going to be an amazing experience! The comfortable bed/bedding, wifi, fluffy bath towels, organic shampoo, conditioner and bath gel in the beautiful stone shower, dark chocolates and a freshly baked loaf of spice bread were just some of the pampering we received! And if that weren't already enough, we found a refrigerator stocked with bagels, cream cheese, goat cheese, crackers, coffee, orange juice and more! It was simply wonderful to relax in the morning before our busy day ahead. We felt so pampered with all the goodies and it was nice not having to worry about finding a market after our long day of travel. The fresh flowers in the dining area and bathroom were such a warm, caring touch. Thank you for being so thoughtful and making our experience such positive one!
