Shelley made us feel most welcome in her cottage near the beach. The cottage was quiet and clean with a comfortable bed and plenty of amenities in the kitchen and bathroom area. Shelley goes above and beyond her duties as a gracious host. The patio was an added bonus, and, though it is shared, gave us plenty of privacy. Neither Shelley's schedule nor ours permitted us to meet in person, but she was never further away than an email or phone call. Really appreciated the private parking, separate entrance and upkeep of the property. We hope to stay there again when we visit family in Santa Monica.
