Where does one even begin to put into words how amazing this place is?! From the moment you walk through the door, your jaw simply drops in amazement at the beauty and finishings of this space. Photos do not do it justice! You are immediately greeted with delicious home-made baked goods, fresh local organic fruit on the table & fridge, beverages (juice, milk, bottled water) to easily last an entire week for a whole family, and even a bottle of wine on the table! Trader Joe's amenities are provided throughout. The location is a perfect staging area for any major activity around the southern LA area. It's close to all the restaurants and shopping on the main strip; a short drive to all the major beaches of the area including Long Beach, Santa Monica, and Huntington Beach; and best of all, Disney is a close 20 min drive away (even in morning rush hour) since it's a quick jaunt over to Hwy 22. This place will be our first choice for our stay the next time we visit SoCal, which hopefully will happen much sooner rather than later!
Of course, saving the best for last, the hosts: Jan & Dale. Their personalities, hospitality and friendliness were the final cherry on top of an already over-the-top charm of a place. They truly take pride in this hand-crafted home with many stories to share. Thank-you from the bottom of our family's hearts for welcoming us into your home and for sharing all the wonderful stories. Enjoy your 'stressful' retirement, Dale, and hope to see the muscle car fully restored the next time we visit!
