It's appropriate for Liz to call it a "beachy" retreat, because her decor of sand and shell-filled lamps, artwork and beautiful pottery (created by her) evoked that setting. Her personality, cheery and sunny, also fits. My schedule was too busy, but I understand her location is just blocks away from the beach. Certainly I found it was walkable to other conveniences, such as restaurants, a Fedex center and other conveniences. Liz is a very thoughtful and generous host and I enjoyed her hospitality.
