Carrie's cottage was lovely and just as described. My wife and I wanted a quiet place, close to the beach at a reasonable price. Carrie communicated all the information we needed including directions and had a guide for the property as well as information and menus for local restaurants.
The cottage was clean and charming. There is a shared yard that is beautifully landscaped. The kitchen is small but well equipped. We brought our own beans but enjoyed access to the coffee maker. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom stocked with towels and a few extra toiletries if necessary.
We loved being a short (5-10 min) walk from the beach or downtown restaurants. For those not familiar with El Segundo, I would describe it as having a small town feel but definitely still in the big city. LAX is nearby and I was a little surprised to discover that while the air traffic is fairly constant, the noise is not terribly disturbing.
The neighborhood is quiet, the location is great, the accommodations were perfect for the two of us and I appreciated Carrie's recommendations for local food and sites. She made herself available for easy communication and checked on us personally to make sure everything was alright. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend family or friends to stay here. Thanks for making our 25th anniversary special!
