Location, location, location, the house is located in a great area. 20 steps to the beach, literally! WE were party of 6 including my parents. All essentials were provided, extra blankets, pillows, a ton of towels, kitchen had all the essentials as well. Wholefoods was 7-8 min drive away so it was easy to get what we wanted. The host was lovely and super responsive, she did all her best to accommodate what we asked for, we felt safe take care of. There was a guide book in the house that helped us understand how to take care of the errands and also what's around us. you will have a great time staying in this place, easy to get to from couple of different routes, and bypass the LA heavy traffics. Thank you so much for having us.
