Our Christmas getaway was just perfect. It was great that we could be with our family and include Brutus our pug in the celebration. The home is located in the heart of beautiful Bird Rock and offers fantastic views of the ocean for the perfect sundown salute. Ben replied immediately when we had a question or request. Our plans included having a holiday feast out on the deck and because the kitchen was stocked with a great variety of cookware and utensils which made it was very easy to make our favorite fare. We also loved that there are so many shops in the neighborhood (The Smoothie Shop, Starbucks, CVS) so it was so easy and we didn't need to deal with taking the car if there was something we wanted. The big screen TV was a bonus- great selection of networks.
