The cottage with its beautiful garden is something very unique and one of the best places we stayed in. You can really relax in the garden or walk down to the Santa Monica Pier (20-25 minutes). The beautiful beaches are pretty close and you can drive by car to the most beautiful beaches in around 30 minutes. There is also a garage for the car (compact car) or park permit for the street.
There are also some nice cafes and restaurants in walking distance and a couple of grocery stores. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and clean Lori, who is takin care of the place, is a very kind and charming person. The neighbors, who occasionally come by to relax in the garden, are also very nice and we can definitely recommend to do yoga with Gosia at the beach - an unforgettable experience!
