I didn't get to meet Kathy personally, but if you're looking for a peaceful place by the beach, you've got to book this. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and there were even snacks in the room when my friend and I arrived! We felt right at home. The house was clean, sunny, and offered a short ride to the beach and to LAX. Kathy was very quick to respond to my messages, and I would absolutely stay with her again!
