We had a truly great vacation staying at Dana's place. It was perfect for our family of 5, for 10 nights. Halfway through our stay, Dana told us to leave the bath towels outside her door (there's no washer & dryer) and when we came home that night, there were fresh towels for us. Dana also provided 5 lush beach towels (that's big when you're traveling on a plane!) There was another night that was particularly chilly and when we came home late that night, there was an extra big comforter on our doorstep. Dana's place has plenty of blankets, but it was a very thoughtful gesture. The place is a little noisy with chickens, rooster and dogs, and we were sometimes awakened, but here's the thing with that: Had I known there was the potential for noisy animals, I may not have booked it (since I'm a light sleeper) but we SO enjoyed everything else about it, that the animals were not a deal breaker for us. It's in a beautiful setting, the deck is cute, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is great, and the place itself is only a 5 or 10 minute drive up from the busy hustle and bustle of Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway. Highly recommend.
