My fiance and I stayed at Shelley's lovely cottage for 3 nights - we had such a fantastic stay. The cottage was just as pictured if not better. Shelley went out of her way to make us feel welcome, leaving us coffee and coconut creamer, small toiletries for the bathroom and checking in via message to make sure we were doing well. It felt like a hotel stay (electronics, full cable, AC and heat, toiletries, slippers, comfortable bed!!!) but with a personal touch. The air conditioning (brand new) was particularly welcome given the heat wave! We really could not have asked for anything more. We would definitely return next time we are in Santa Monica. Shelley and her partner Alec are fantastic hosts.
