The whole experience was a dream come true. The house was beautiful, the kitchen is to die for and combined with the solarium made for the most social area in the house. The bedrooms are separate from the living/entertainment areas, which was really great for baby nap time (the guys could still have the football game on).

Lisa and Nick were amazing hosts, with all the information printed out for us, plus post-it notes to help identify the different cupboards in the kitchen. They even left an amazing Christmas basket of goodies for us. They were very easy to communicate with and they went out of their way to set up the house according to our needs.

What else? Christmas decorations! They decorated the house and the tree for our Christmas holiday, which was pretty amazing. If we come back to Santa Monica for Christmas (or any other time), I would be very happy to stay again at the gorgeous Spanish Home by the Beach.
