Laurie’s place was the perfect place for a casual get away. No muss No fuss. Perfect for a laid back couple or single person. I was worried about the fact that there wasn’t air conditioning (on me for not reading thoroughly!) but the nights were mostly cool and we bought an additional fan that made the nights more comfortable. I would not recommend for the hotter months than June- but the ocean does a very nice job of cooling off the evenings.
It’s on the small side and a bit used but again if you’re looking for a casual vibe and you’re low maintenance you’ll be happy. The place was definitely cleaned though the floors/rugs could possibly use a thorough cleaning. My feet would be a little dark after walking around barefoot.
You’re a healthy jaunt from the beach here so if you need Oceanside this is not for you, but we loved the coffee shop just around the corner and the grocery store just a block away. Very cute and quiet residential area for the over 30 not looking for a lot of nightlife.
Laurie was a tremendous host. The house is in the backyard of the main house but we never feel any invasion of space. We were celebrating our honeymoon and she left us two small bottles of sparkling wine. It was such a hospitable touch, we would 100% stay there again!
