The nice owner didn't mind our 8:30 PM arrival (we gave her notice about
it) and she put fresh flowers in our room from her garden. This is an
attractive house, but overall it was not what we were expecting. We
thought there would be a private bathroom but it turned out that it was a
shared bathroom with a door to another connecting bedroom. We had no idea
it was a shared bathroom until I was standing in only a towel at the sink
and a man opened the closed door and walked in on me! Also, though the
bathroom was clean there was paint on the sink and tub. The owner
explained that she painted flowers on the sink to cover a crack and that
the paint on the tub was the result of someone cleaning paint there that
didn't come off; the paint was on the bottom and the caulk line. The
mattress was very comfortable but the bedframe squeaked, suggesting it may
just need some tightening. The room had a nice balcony with a pretty view.
You can't hear the ocean because of the road noise from the PCH. One last
note -- you can wander through the pretty pool and garden, but you can't
swim in the pool (it's only partially full and, as the hostess told us,
it's cold and costs too much to heat).
