We loved staying at Sean's backyard cottage. The location is just perfect, close enough to leisurely stroll to the shops and restaurants at Riviera Village, and definitely close enough to mosey on down to the beach in just a few minutes. It was great that there was a compact spot available in the garage, as the cottage is also just a short drive from all the other cool LA county beach towns. We stayed during a heat wave and between the fans and windows it was comfortable. The cottage is the perfect size for a couple to some quiet time at the beach, which is exactly what we did thanks to the included beach umbrella and chairs.
