Richards directions were easy to follow and the location was perfect. Having access to his garage for our car was a great addition to the ocean front stay.
The space is clean and simple with some personal flare highlighting Richard’s charming and unique style. There was designated fridge space if we needed and he stocked up on fresh fruits for us. The bed was medium firm which I love and his choice of textured sheets was a real winner. He provided a good selection of pillows for every variety of sleeper.
We slept with the windows open feeling the breeze coming in off of the ocean and the sound of waves serenading us to sleep.
Richard provides a great list of things to do within walking distance. He provided us with beach chairs, towels, an umbrella, and boogie boards.
My partner and I are vegetarian so we walked up the beach walk into pacific beach (about 40 min) as the sun was setting to find a great mexican spot that offered vegetarian options called Pueblo. Amazing chips and salsa and great drinks. The vegan shrimp tacos were a show stopper! Our server Luke also recommended a speak easy called the Grass Skirt that was right across the street which had deliciously creative cocktails and a great evening vibe. We felt very safe walking around, even at night.
Richard happily offered coffee or tea at his place, but we opted to start our days at the lazy eye coffee spot. Great chagachino and dirty chai.
We spent the majority of our time soaking in the sun and playing in the ocean.
Richard was an amazing human being with great energy. We would usually see him if we were around the space around 10am since he lives on the bottom level. The upstairs portion felt very private and if we needed to speak with Richard about anything he was always available. It was a treat chatting with him about all kinds of fun topics and his knowledge of the area and overall luster for life was very refreshing.
Great connection. Great space. Excellent host. Perfect get away!
