Carla is a seasoned host and very responsive and communicative. She did everything possible to make our stay comfortable, and it really was! The house's location is truly ideal -- just a couple of blocks from the beach. We liked walking up to Bird Rock for coffee and Oscar's Mexican Seafood for fish tacos (highly recommend both). The house itself has some quirks, which is to be expected for its age. All in all, I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a beach getaway with a great host!
