Oh my goodness...this was a dream vacation spot for our family of four! First of all...the location is bananas. Less than two blocks and boom: you're on the Pacific. We walked down to Starbucks every morning for coffee and pastries and then walked across the street to Juice Infusion so the location is everything. But wait...not just everything. The house itself was lovely. Clean, neat, luxurious. Our big thing while traveling is having good beds and good bedding. Kind of a hard thing to ensure when booking online but this little cottage of love had excellent beds and bedding (actually I need to connect with Clay + Danielle to find out the brand of sheets and comforter [I forgot to look before we left] because we LOVED them). Typically we grocery shop and then cook all our meals at home, but this time we decided to go out for every meal and OH MY WORD...this house is in the best location for all the delights you could wish for. (We ate at Rose, Gjelina, Blue Bottle, Great White, Poke Poke, Kazu Nori, etc.) The patio was lovely because we could escape and relax in another nice location. We actually loved all the books and appreciated the incredible rose gardens in the yard. Lovely, nice touches throughout the entire home. The boys in the family surfed everyday. Just perfect for us!
