What a fantastic vacation and place to visit. From the time we arrived, Carole was very in touch. We were greeted with a nice fruit platter, yummy snacks and an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. The house was everything we read about and MORE. Carole was very accommodating to our group and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in Manhattan Beach (Carole's home) for 8 nights for our vacation and my daughter played in Sand Tournaments up and down the coast! The weather was amazing. We walked to town (via the strand everyday) and ordered Pizza on the beach for dinner one night. We attended the Manhattan Beach AVP Tournament and got to watch Kerri Walsh and April Ross practice for the Olympics right off the Strand! Hope to come back next year and do it all over again! Thank you for opening up your home to my family!
