Redondo Beach is a lovely tucked-away seaside suburb of LA, you really feel like you're in a resort town, but with all the big city sights just a drive away. However, the real standout feature is the wonderful, relaxed down-home way in which Wendy and Mike look after the guests. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure my two daughters and I enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the cottage for just over a week. Warm, comfortable and cozy. The Burnham 'compound' is highly recommended as an alternative to the soul-less hotels and holiday homes all too often found in this big city.
