My husband and I work remote and wanted a nice place to work during the days and explore the area at night. Derek's place was perfect - such a beautiful, tranquil spot. The guest house is spotless, bright, modern and the doors open up completely to a small garden in the back with a koi pond. We loved it. The area is a solid 15-20 minute walk from the beach and quite proximal to a Whole Foods and numerous great restaurants. Although Derek and his wife weren't in town, their son Cameron was a great host as well. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in LA soon.
