Our stay at Katherine's garage cottage in Redondo Beach was wonderful. The cottage is seemingly brand new and the design is beautiful. There is a great pattern in the bathroom tile, the kitchen has delightful sea-blue tile, and the whole cottage has a Hawaiian theme. The best part of the cottage was it facing a backyard with fruit trees and a fire circle. The main house is not visible so it feels private. It feels like a little bungalo in Costa Rica. After a day of museums or visiting the beach, it was so relaxing to sit outside in the garden and feel the warm sun on our skin as the evening breeze came in.
Furthermore, Katherine left some drinks and yogurt in the fridge for us, and let us use her kids' Legos so we felt more like personal guests then renters. A very comforting visit.
