I had the good fortune to stay at Kate's for 10 days in her art-filled home sitting atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The location and home are beautiful and Kate is a warm, witty and entertaining host. I loved hearing the ocean waves beating the shore, and the seagulls, and the many sweet dogs who gather in the park nearby. Everyday I walked/jogged to Wind and Sea to watch the surfers and to read and write. The entire Bird Rock area is very special and this house is stellar. I would return in a heartbeat.
