We were in the area for a family vacation with 3 couples + 1 child, and really enjoyed this house. It was nice to have a private parking space and feel part of the neighborhood. It's about 1.5-2 miles to the Redondo Beach lagoon / harbor area. It was a beautiful drive coming over the hills. There is a ton of dining ~25 minutes in south Redondo but also a number of restaurants near the harbor. Would definitely recommend this property.
