Ling and David were very hospitable during our one week stay there. They answered our questions promptly and were very approachable, friendly and helpful.

The mountain retreat had a breathtaking view with loads of natural sunlight, space and gardens (we did spot the lemon and orange trees but the month we went meant the fruits hadn't formed, though lots of amazing cacti, succulents and flowers). We had one evening to celebrate a birthday party and the house had a well equipped kitchen (we couldn't detect an oven but they had a dishwasher, plenty of diningware and great fridge space), shower and grill making it the perfect location to have a small group of guests over for cosy meal, finished off by a indoor fire. Wonderful!

The neighbourhood itself is gorgeous and was easy for us to nip into local restaurants, beaches, grocery stores, shops and canyons - exactly what they say in their helpful guidebook they send to confirmed guests.

If you like coastal retreats and a sunny beach life, the interior lends itself to being eclectic and a little wear and tear but comes with lots of fun and charm.
