Tara is a delightful host; she communicated well and supplied everything and more for comfort and convenience. The neighborhood was an eclectic mixture of older California-style, newer, well-kept properties and not-so-well-kept. The beach was an easy walk. There are some stairs and a couple large step-ups to the bathroom, which was a little challenging for my friend, but otherwise we enjoyed everything, including the eateries that Tara kindly recommended and beautiful walks and sunsets on the beach.
