Sara's place in Santa Monica is a great location for a friend or family gathering. My family was in town for a wedding and staying at several locations. Though six of us stayed comfortably at Sara's - we were able to have our family visit us at different times to have dinner and spend time together. The outside living space had amazing Ocean views on one side and Mountain views on the other and is 2 levels with plenty of seating. The location is literally steps from everything you need; shopping, restaurants, banks, even a Whole Foods!!! The architectural beauty of this place is amazing with stained glass accents and hard wood details but with all the comforts of home. Fully stocked kitchen (hot plate no oven) full fridge - large enough for us to prep some of the food for the wedding - This place is close to the water and the younger family members walked to the Ocean and pier. Sara checked in on us and made sure all was well - unfortunately I did not get to meet Sara in person but we were met with beautiful Roses and fresh pastries upon arrival. This place was so friendly and inviting we all gathered and felt no real need to venture out as it allowed us to just enjoy and reconnect - looking to relax in a great area with an excellent host at a reasonable price -- book this place... 👍🏻
