We came to Maria’s place from the mountains and several feet of snow. What a pleasure to be in such a cozy, well equipped, welcoming home. The location is great—only a few short blocks from the ocean where we walked to watch sunsets. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen large with all the amenities. Maria gave us good suggestions for places to eat nearby. We went back to The Promiscuous Fork several times for takeout. We had a baby so it was easier to eat at home. Nearby we discovered good coffee places and a wonderful bakery with outstanding pastries (sorry, our friend found it and she can’t recall the name). Maria told us of the walking/jogging path just a block from the home and we used it often. Really, we loved this home and its wonderful host who responded right away to any question we might have. It was perfect for us. We plan on coming back next winter to get out of the snow for a week in the sun.
