Brian and Julia were incredible hosts. They made sure we had what we needed to enjoy our stay and let us borrow a game for the Xbox. We were also able to enjoy a great dinner with them and their family while visiting. Their place is spotless, comfortable, private and just as described and photographed. We were able to park in the driveway and the separate entrance to the downstairs was easy to use. It was so nice staying close to the beach and within walking distance of Manhattan and Hermosa Beaches. My teenage daughter and I stayed for 5 nights and spent some time at LA attractions and the rest enjoying the beach town. We will definitely return next time we head to the LA area!!
