As we were arriving late, Todd communicated clear instructions for check-in as he was out of town for the evening and everything was easy and smooth. Bebe, Todd's awesome dog, greeted us at the door! His place is in a great location just 1 1/2 blocks to the beach and within an easy 10-minute walk to the Pier; there are several restaurants within a few blocks. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with very friendly people. Todd allowed access to the whole house and there are several balconies of which to view the ocean. Todd gave us as much privacy as we wanted but also shared conversation and recommendations on the area when we inquired. And Bebe is a gentle dog that just loves to be petted! We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Todd, for everything!
