Sandy’s house is located in a great spot. Steps to the beach, the Strand, and lots of Hermosa shops and eateries. Next door is a house on one side and a hotel (no windows facing the house) on the other. The front is directly on a public street, and the back is a less busy street used to access the hotel’s parking garage. The front can be slightly noisy at night as people come and go from metered parking spaces and the beach. Otherwise it’s a very private and restful space! There is ample parking, and the back deck is open and great for spending time outdoors. I came here with my husband, parents, and nearly three year old. If you are sensitive to early morning light (like my three year old) bring some travel blackout curtains as it’s extremely bright early morning in the summer months. (This is not a bad thing, just an observation!) Sandy and Leigh were extremely communicative. The internet went out briefly during our stay (Spectrum street-wide issue), and we were updated on status the entire time. Not that it mattered at the time because it was a perfect 80 degree day. We fully enjoyed the space and used all amenities.
