Laurie and Kurt are wonderful hosts! I really enjoyed getting to know them both. Laurie was excellent with communications too. She always got back to me quickly and was patient when I had some other trip confusions. It was really fun watching her run out and back from surfing too. The house is lovely and very clean, the room is cozy. Laurie had coffee and cake ready in the am. The chickens are a fun perk too. Super nice, interesting people who make it an easy stay. It's a fun surf loving house.
