If you are looking for a comfortable place, for people and pets, only a 10-15 minute walk to the beach (I did it in 10 without my dog!), excellent proximity to the airport and well sound-proofed, this is the home for you. Joan knew we were coming for a family reunion and to meet our new granddaughter over the Christmas holidays. We stayed for 2 weeks and she had the condo beautifully decorated for our stay, including a Christmas tree with poodle ornaments (we brought our mini poodle), a sweet gift for our infant granddaughter, and Baby's First Christmas stocking! She added festive touches throughout her home that made us feel like we were in a home away from home. The kitchen was well-stocked, there were plenty of towels and linens and even a store of extra sample size toiletries if needed in a pinch. Joan contacted me before our stay with excellent directions for check in and check out. We didn't realize how chilly LA can be in December by the beach and missed not having a fireplace or fire pit, but we enjoyed the sun porch, especially in the late afternoon and in the evening with a small space heater, which Joan provided. All in all we had a wonderful experience at Turtle Cove and highly recommend a stay at Joan's comfortable home near the beach.
