I wanted to find a place to get away to do some writing. A place that was serene near the beach, in a setting that was in nature, a place without distraction. Melissa’s home was exactly what I had imagined and honestly a whole lot more. What I didn’t except was the sense of being taken care of.
The first thing you notice once you arrived, driven through the private gate and up the hill to this bungalow, is the views! The whole front of the house traversing the smaller bedroom on one end, through the dinning area, living room and main bathroom, is that they all share a seascape, which by the way, was my only happy distraction, especially for the nightly show of spectacular sunsets. The larger bedroom through it’s beautiful lead glass doors has it’s own vista, that of the canyon and mountains. The doors open out to a private side yard. The whole space is quiet, secluded and, a home. For it is a home, with all the touches and feel of that, it’s comfy without being fussy. The other bonus that I had not planned for were the hikes. Lots of easy trails surround the place, these lead in and around the canyon and up to the top of the hills, with ( and on the day I hiked ) an abundant blue ocean below and it’s rival just as blue expansive sky dotted with a few white clouds and soaring hawks. This is the perfect get-away from-it-all, for a couple, to just be together and, it’s a wonderful place I found, for singular contemplation. Melissa is very friendly, helpful and an easy low-key hostess, quick to respond to any message or text. Thanks again Melissa, I can’t wait to return!
