We stayed here while our daughter was touring colleges in the Los Angeles area. The place exceeded every expectation. The view and amenities were fantastic. We loved being able to use the drop down stairs and walk the beach at low tide and enjoyed hearing the waves during high tide. There is a beautiful little courtyard upon entering with a grill and lush plants and flowers and it is completely enclosed so it is very private. The view from the decks is superb. The pictures do not do the view or the place justice. We will definitely be wanting to return and stay there again.
