Tom’s place is truly such a gem! The place is even better than the photos, with such great light, windows for that ocean breeze, amazing location, and every amenity you could ask for. I was also so pleasantly surprised by the really incredible orchid garden that he has cultivated over the last 10 years! It was so peaceful to have breakfast on the patio overlooking it. The convenience of the garage parking space was also really wonderful as street parking in Santa Monica can be limited. Tom was such a lovely host, texting to make sure I got in okay on my check in day, and even giving me some orchids to take home with me when I left! Already looking forward to the next time I can stay at this cottage.
