My husband and I were arriving a few hours before check-in. We contacted Isabel and she said that it would be no problem to check in early; which gave us the opportunity to drop off our luggage, change, and head to the beach! The studio was beautiful and quiet. You can see the Pacific Ocean and the fireworks at Sea World from the top deck. Nestled on a quiet street and only a 10 minute bike ride or 5 minute cab ride to the beach. Isabel was a great host, accommodating to our needs but not intrusive at all. Perfect relaxing 5 days and we definitely hope to return!
