We had a wonderful stay at the Santa Monica cottage! I was dropping my son off for college and the location was right in between UCLA and the Santa Monica beaches (being closer to the beach). Since we needed to do a bit of shopping before dropping him off, it was easy access to stores but also close to the beautiful downtown area of Santa Monica. Shelley's cottage was even nicer than her pictures. The room was clean and new and the bathroom was huge with a wonderful rainfall shower. Shelley was warm and friendly as was her associate Alec, who we got to know while staying here. We really felt like it was a home away from home. We needed to rent a car and I was thrilled to see that we had off-street parking right next to our cottage. I would highly recommend staying here!
