I came for a week to enjoy the ocean coast while reading, reflecting and a little writing. I could not have wished for a better place--views from kitchen, deck, my bedroom, and even the shower are matchless. Beach access for strolling was ample. Manuel pointed me to a perfect trail up the slopes which provided increasingly panoramic views. For the second week my wife joined me and having both the Getty Villa and Center so accessible was such a plus. While I/we had all the privacy we wanted, visits with Margaret and Manuel were most enjoyable. Manuel's "mi casa, su casa" were not mere words.
