My stay at the cottage on Caroline's wonderful garden courtyard property was excellent! This beautifully decorated unit offers privacy, peace and quiet, and many other positive features, including a huge, comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, inviting living room, all immaculately clean and decorated with beautiful taste and personal touches. The garden is a beautiful, quiet oasis set back from the street where you can sit outside, see hummingbirds visiting the many flowers in bloom, and enjoy the tranquil sounds of a fountain. All of this is within walking distance from the beach, shops, restaurants, and all the activities of Santa Monica. There is free street parking with a permit or garage parking available. Caroline is a kind, responsive, helpful host, and her colleague Lori is kind, friendly, and often there on site to help with questions and suggest places to go in the area. If you can book a stay at this property, you will love it! It is a rare gem!
