The view is just like the pictures— life-giving. I felt surrounded by nature which created a very peaceful environment. The place is very clean and stocked with everything I could need. I’m a big coffee drinker so I was pleasantly surprised by the jar of organic coffee beans, coffee grinder and pour-over tools. Plus, enjoying a cup on the balcony was the cherry on top. I miss it already! I appreciated the thorough and prompt communication from Hayley. It’s lovely that you’re a short drive from the beach. I drove out a little farther to El Matador Beach because there’s more recreational space and I just really like that beach, cleanliness there, etc. Keep in mind you are driving through the canyon. After the first few times going up and down, I got more comfortable. I recommend checking route options while you have internet to avoid too many winding roads and to gain familiarity with the area before you start driving. Be extra careful! Defensive driving is key. I run hot. So, I was thrilled the suite stays extra cool during the summer. I didn’t need to use the fan or have the AC turned on! I loved the decor, the plants, and the ability to use the kitchen :)
