This quiet retreat is an excellent choice! 1 mile walk to the beach, 1/2 mile to meditation gardens, a couple min drive to great hikes and 5 min drive to an outdoor mall and farmer’s market on the weekend. The unit itself is spacious, bright and airy! The unit is a studio, but the layout made it feel much more like a full apartment and the enclosed patio was so private that it felt like an extra room on the apartment. I stayed for a month and had everything I needed and more. Drawbacks? Not many, but if ultra modern decor is a must have for you, this may not be the place. Older home in a quiet, extremely safe neighborhood. The home is on a busy street, but the mother in law suite is behind the house and noise was not an issue.
