What you see in the pics, is what you get. Hearing the waves crashing against the shore...oh my! Amazing. The views are spectacular and the space is just right for a couple. Very romantic and beachy setting. We rented a car so that we could get around easier. Took us 45 minutes, with heavy traffic, to get to Santa Monica pier and Venice beach. We partied in Long Beach, which was less than 20 minutes away. Parking was not a big problem, but we did get a ticket for parking close to the beach at night (some genius spray painted the parking signs). Eh, that was the only issue, which had nothing to do with Caroline's beach pad. Overall, a swell place in a beautiful location.
