We were looking to get away for some relaxing and Kate’s home was exactly what we needed!
First, the obvious - the view doesn’t get any better. In NW Arkansas we’re used to going to bed with the fan on - to keep it cool and for the noise. We were afraid we wouldn’t get sleep without it - leaving the sliding door open and letting the breeze and sound of the waves in was even better than a fan. We also felt safe having the door opened with the patio gates locked.
The park next door fills up every evening just in time for sunset and in the morning, all the dogs are playing. There’s a nice feeling of community.
Another high point is of the location is that it’s so close to everything. We walked to Tourmaline Surf Club, Windansea Beach, and took a Lyft to Mission Bay for a whale watching cruise for only a few dollars....and walked back to the house after a stroll through Belmont Park & Mission Beach.
CVS, Starbucks, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters and The Shack were also within walking distance....and at Kate’s suggestion we also walked to and tried the pastries at Wayfarer (the monkey bread is 100%)
The studio itself is just what we needed. The bed is so comfortable- I slept ALL night long each night! The shower is great as well. There were many other amenities we didn’t use - but were available.
The studio, property and home is decorated with many works of art - which we thought added to its uniqueness.
Kate was a sweet hostess and we really enjoyed our conversations with her. We highly recommend her studio (or her other rooms). We can’t wait to be able to make another trip out to SD and would def stay here again!
