We arrived late on a Friday evening to a backyard full of tiki torches and hanging lights that instantly made it feel like our own private paradise. Angela was there to welcome us with some really thoughtful touches and we couldn't have felt more comfortable and at home. After she left us to get settled in, my girlfriend commented, "It feels like we're staying with an old friend." I responded "Yeah, except my friends aren't that nice."

On Saturday, we rented stand-up paddle boards just a couple blocks away and had a great time out on the water. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Redondo.
