Tara's place is extremely and I mean extremely well located for getting to the main attractions like Sea World, the Safari and the Zoo. I am directionally challenged and once I fired up google maps it was so quick and easy to access the main routes to those places. Its also on the edge of the hipster Ocean beach area, lots of great restaurants, bars etc.
Tara had the AirB&B down to an art, she communicates well by electronic means and is approachable in person. The lay out of the house is great and kitchen draws are helpfully labeled. The bathroom supplied thoughtfully with things you might need but forgot - jars with band aids ( My 5 year old son face planted on the sidewalk being a 5 year old and there were cotton balls and band aids to care for him) those floss stick thingies etc. There are 3 rooms used by guests in a small house and only one bathroom but it seemed to work out fine as the house is light and airy with a back deck and most folks are here to get out and do things, not hang around. My son and I had some very friendly and pleasant interactions with other guests.
A good deal especially if you are visiting for the big attractions or the vibe of a California beach life experience. We come from a landlocked state and this was my sons first contact with the Ocean.
