We were looking for an alternative to staying in west LA during a long weekend driving down from the Bay Area, so we decided to stay out by the beach. The calendar was up to date, booking was simple, and we received thorough pre-arrival communication. The location was very easy to find, and we felt very welcome with the timely baked chocolate chip cookies and two bowls of fresh fruit provided by our hosts. The guest house is well appointed, with a good sized bedroom and comfortable double bed, a large living room with sofa for an extra guest and a small kitchen. Everything was as described in the listing. The next morning, Patricia gave us a tour of the Point Dume area, with explicit instructions on how to gain access to various beaches. Over the next two days, we explored the Little Dume, Westward and Zuni beaches as well as the state park at the point. We also drove up to Leo Carrillo state park for the sunset and tide pool exploration. For food, we can recommend Ollie's Duck & Dive, a gastropub right in Point Dume, and Malibu Seafood, a fish market & picnic patio with ocean view about 3 miles east on the PCH. But the guest house was so quiet and comfortable that we enjoyed cooking breakfast in the mornings and watching some of the top-tier DVDs in the evening. All-in-all, a wonderful stay and we hope to return on one of our frequent LA visits.
