Laura was extremely helpful and communicative prior to our actual booking, leading up to our reservation dates, as well as during our stay. My group was hosting a weekend retreat for the youth members of our non-profit advocacy organization and our goals were to find a location that could not only accommodate all 20 of us comfortably and without gouging our limited budget, but also a venue that offered convenience and the potential for off-site activities. Laura's home met all of these goals and exceeded our expectations by being incredibly spacious while also being located within just a few minutes for both LAX and the beach. We were very satisfied with our stay here and would be happy to recommend this location and Laura herself to anyone else. In fact, we fully intend to inquire about this location's availability for any of our organization's future retreats in the Southern California area. Thanks for allowing such a great experience for our staff and our youth, Laura!
