This Santa Monica home was amazing. It has everything to make your stay trouble free and is perfectly located. Surrounded by wonderful places to eat and drink, and a pleasant easy walk to the 3rd street shopping area and the beach front. Cara's communication was second to none via email prior to visiting, unfortunately we never got to meet Cara but was greeted by Lori who was nice and very informative. The garden is exactly as described. Such a peaceful hideaway, and a great spot for watching the humming birds! I would recommend this place in an instant. Thank you for giving us the perfect start on our first visit to the USA and setting us up nicely for the rest of our trip.
