Debbie was a fantastic host, she suggested a lot of things for us to do, had helpful tips, and got to know us throughout our stay. I wish we had more time to do everything! There are local restaurants and bars along the beach, a Starbucks and a little market near her place, but if you catch the bus it'll take you to Ralphs 2 miles up the road. Her place is steps to the bay and you have to cross a main street to get to the beach, but still super close!
