This place is spectacular. Gorgeous view, a magnificently comfortable bed, excellent linens, etc., and an intriguing array of paintings, sculpture, and whimsical collections of various kinds. The outdoor patio offers unrivaled views of the ocean and the shore. Be aware that it is contiguous with the owner's open patio, which for us was a plus, because we caught occasional glimpses of each other and became friends. This incredible location happens to be a five-minute stroll from three excellent resources: Lupi, which serves really excellent Italian dinners; the taco place on the corner (sorry to have forgotten its name); and of course the unfailingly reliable Starbucks. All three are on the near side of the main drag, just uphill from this lodging. Across the street is a wine bar, offering pricey tastings as well as wines by the bottle; their cab is magnificent. Don't expect a full kitchen; there is a wee fridge and a perfectly adequate microwave, along with dishes, glasses, and silverware for two. A really special place. We can't wait to get back there!
