The Tunney-Garrison Beach Bungalow was quaint and lovely. It has a fantastic location; I easily walked to the beach, shops & restaurants, and the grocery store. I didn't rent a car, so location was key. (I was able to take a cab to/from LAX for about $35 each way, in case you're wondering about the feasibility of that).

Omar is very helpful and has a very handy folder of all the suggested activities in the area. His recommendations are spot on! I would definitely stay here again. Only thing to note - I couldn't get any channels on the TV, so get ready for some peace & quiet. :-)
