This is a great little place! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were a bit confused when we arrived (the place is accessible through the alley - should have paid more attention to Scott's messages!), but once we found our way in, we loved it. The ocean breezes (and view!!) were amazing; the terrace and hot tub are awesome. Huge tv with a great cable selection; we watched a movie in bed each night. You feel like you're on top of it all here, perched on a hill overlooking the ocean. (Which is more driving distance than walking, since that hill is rather intimidating, but that wasn't a problem for us).

Scott called us to check in the morning after we arrived, making sure everything was working out, which was really nice. The place was clean and ready for us when we arrived, checking in and out super easy - can't say enough how great a host he was!

The only thing to know is that the hot tub is in a bit of a shared courtyard area with the house in front of the studio, which is above the garage in the alley. So it's not completely private - the terrace (with the hammock and table) is more private. Not a negative, just something to know. Watching fireworks from the terrace each night was an added plus!
