What an incredible experience! It's no surprise our visit was too short - 2 nights. This was our 4 year wedding anniversary trip and Darrell, th host, couldn't have been more helpful and delightful as a person himself. Will return again and look forward to conversing with him more. The grounds are tropical with the fantastic of babbling brooks and croaking frogs that are meditative and lull you to sleep (if you leave the window open) otherwise the guest house is pretty soundproof. Everything has been well taken care of, remodeled and updated and perfectly clean and tidy. The bed is heaven and the recliners in the guest house are the finest you'll come across. At night, the lights are mesmerizing and magical. You'd never believe you weren't on a magical secluded island in the middle of nowhere, yet close to the beach and some of the most incredible restaurants and multiple activities. You'll never get bored in this tropical "Fantasy Island" and the Topanga area itself. There are many small markets so before you head up into the hills of Topanga, stop by a grocery store, if you plan to visit one, beforehand. Darrell's vintage store is one of the highlights of the area - Hidden Treasures has some of the finest vintage clothing + at truly fantastic prices.
