It’s impossible not to love Amanda and Shaun’s place. Here are just a few reasons: (A) Location - it’s a short and pleasant walk to Redondo Pier and Hermosa Beach; there are bikes to make the trip even quicker. (B) The beauty of the cottage itself - Amanda and Shaun have paid exquisite detail to personal touches inside and out, from lovely artwork to beautiful fresh flowers to a cool retro turntable and great selection of vinyl albums (everything from James Taylor to Lana del Rey). (C) Practicalities - great shower, super comfortable beds, great kitchen appliances and necessities, lots of space to hang clothes - and to hang out. (D) Outdoor space - there are two sweet patios with tables and chairs just outside the cottage, and a library nook with seriously the most eclectic and compelling selection of books we’ve ever seen outside of our own home. (E) Shaun and Amanda themselves - and their three amazing dogs - are wonderful, friendly, fascinating hosts.
