The place is so charming! It is a few feet from a main road, but the cottage area still feels quiet and safe. It is within walking distance of a Vons/CVS as well as several local eateries and most importantly, the ocean. For that reason the area is quite humid, as expected, however the place is equipped with several standing fans and a ceiling fan. Everything was perfect except the first day we did find a couple ants in the bathroom-expected, as it faces an outside yard with plants. We did not have any further issues with any bugs for the rest of the week. Overall we were extremely happy with our stay and our hosts were very prompt with communication. Highly recommend!
