This lovely one bedroom cottage is exactly as pictured. It is a warm, cozy place. It is a completely private cottage at the back of the property. It has easy access from the alley through a keypad on the gate. Once inside, the keys to the door were on the table waiting for us. This place is exceptionally private and safe. It even has a convenient parking space just outside the gate. If you have been to Redondo Beach before, you know that parking is at a premium.
There were plenty of towels and those rare things called wash clothes in the linen closet. There was a deep mirrored medicine cabinet above the bathroom sink which allowed us to keep the bathroom countertops uncluttered. The shower had more water pressure than we have experienced in a long time. It was a real pleasure. There was even a non-slip mat on the shower floor which as a senior citizen, I greatly appreciated.
There was Keurig coffee maker and the owners kept us supplied with coffee. They would check in once in a while to see if we needed anything. They live in the main house on the property. There is a small four burner apartment-sized electric stove in the cottage that we did not use. There is also a refrigerator which we did use.
We can't say enough about the convenience of the cottage. There are plenty of restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner within a mile of the cottage. If you enjoy walking, there were several more with 1.5 miles of the cottage. We walked to all but one meal that we ate when we chose to go to a restaurant that was 4.5 miles away. That is a little too much for me.
We have relatives in the area and when we return to Redondo Beach, we will plan around the availability of this cottage.
