Tammy & Marc were fantastic! Their responses to our questions were quick. The day before we arrived, they area was experiencing a heat wave, so they installed AC units in the bedrooms and a portable one in the living room. The house was equipped with an unthinkable amount of amenities, way more than expected. SO we tried real hard to think of something the cottage did not have, AND that is an immersion blender, but there was a regular blender. LOL There was also plenty of beach chairs, games and beach toys to go around. The 2nd bathroom was located outside in the backyard in a small building that also contained the washer and dryer. While we were there, and not currently at the cottage, we texted Marc regarding a good place for breakfast and he responded with a couple good choices. The cottage is very private and the backyard was awesome. The parking was not as bad as we expected based upon previous reviews. The location to the beach and the two piers are perfect. If you enjoy walking, they are both in walking distance. The area was very enjoyable and the weather a perfect 10 all 7 days we were there. We had a very pleasant experience exploring the area and we did a lot of traveling. A lot of the places we visited were within 30-45 minutes away, except for the long drive up the PCH. We took a 1 hour and 45 minute ride up to Santa Barbara. The ride was gorgeous and worth it. This cottage is highly recommended and located in great location. You won't regret it!!!
