Great location! Great host. Excellent communication and Mark went the "extra mile" for us on a couple of requests. We chose this location because we love the beach and we love people watching. We were plenty close enough to Abbott Kinney (where, by the way, we passed shoulder-to-shoulder with Steven Tyler)! and ate ice cream at Salt and Straw... We rode bikes everywhere, and we especially loved riding bikes along the beach trail! The beds are super comfortable! The cottage is very well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, even things you may have forgotten like a razor. The most comfortable couch-bed we've ever laid on! Mark was such a lovely host. He gave us all the privacy we wanted, but he immediately responded to any question that we had. We would highly recommend this cottage! We had one of our best trips of our lives!
