Melanie's place was perfect for what we needed. We actually live in the area but had friends coming in for a baby shower and needed them close. We went to help them get into the place and we were so delighted at the decor and the relaxed feeling of the cottage. Though it's attached to a larger house, it feels like it's own space and is quiet and comfortable. We didn't do much sightseeing in the area, as we had friends here for the shower, but the location of the cottage would allow for easy hikes into the eucalyptus trees and quick walks down to the ocean. It's a wonderful location. Melanie was very prompt with communication when we had a small issue trying to figure out the lock on the door. Within minutes, she responded and we had the issue fixed. I would definitely recommend Melanie's place to a couple or single person visiting the coast! We plan to use it in the future for family and friends whenever we can. Thanks, Melanie!
