For those travelers not accustomed to the CA beach lifestyle, this casita is a special treat. You can see the ocean from the street, it's that close. It's cozy and everything is in fine working order. I found the bed to be very comfortable and slept well. There is a nice fire pit with 4 chairs available to use. The area gets a "10" for safety and walkability. Plenty of restaurants and shops within 10-15 minutes' walk. There is a market/deli nearby with a variety of options for in-room dining. Rachel respected my privacy but was readily accessible via messaging. I would definitely like to return next year.
