We stayed at Gina and Clark's lovely Topanga Canyon home for a week this summer. The house is ideally situated if you want to be out of the city but close enough to get to it (and the beach) in minutes. We could see stars each night and hear the coyotes from the 2nd story wrap around deck! There is immediate access to trails in the Santa Monicas from the back of the house. Gina and Clark left a super detailed note with information about the house, house care and things to do. Their Neighbor, Nick, also greeted us on our arrival, was available during our whole stay, answered any questions, made restaurant and hike recommendations, brought us some fresh fruit and sold us a dozen eggs from his chickens. The house itself accommodated the five of us easily. Also, we fell in love with Tori, the dog, and Annie and Josie, the cats. We wanted to take Tori home with us. Super home and location. Would absolutely go back.
