Rita is an amazing Host and human being. We had such a fantastic experience staying in her beautiful guest house. The little kitchen was excellent. We could make our morning coffee and smoothies and then enjoy them either on the sunny patio at the table or in the back on the giant daybed under the pergola to the sounds of the low chimes. She more than met our expectations. We are already planning return trip. This place is so close to Zuma beach yet because of the large growth trees in the neighborhood all the possible beach traffic and noise was not evident, and we slept like dogs! We only realized how noisy PCH was when we walked to Zuma for our stroll and beach visits. The property is wonderful. A sweet, private backyard, but, if we needed something Rita was next door to help. Ultimate sleeping and relaxing. We even had an impromptu cocktail party one of the nights around her pool at her invitation. Plenty of towels glasses etc. all the perfect things for a successful beach de-stress week! FABULOUS!!!
