Our host, Angela was incredible. She was warm, friendly and generous. She had gifts for all of us! Champagne for adults (we stayed over new years weekend) and an adorable stuffed Penguin travel pillow for our daughter. She seemed like she was greeting new friends and we certainly felt like special guests in her cottage. We come to Redondo Beach often to spend time with grandparents and this is the best setting we have ever encountered. It has everything we need like parking, fresh water in the fridge, great water pressure in the shower and things we especially love, from a delightful orange tree in a private yard for our daughter to pick oranges for breakfast, many plush feather pillows and a well stocked "mini -bar". Angela anticipates a guest's every need! It is close whole foods, the library, and the beach - walking distance. Veterans Park and many great restaurants are really close too.
