Joanne and Mike were amazing hosts. Very responsive, thoughtful, and willing to help with anything we needed. The place was perfectly clean, they seemed to take extra care with COVID precautions, and had personal touches throughout our stay. They stocked up with everything you would need and also some extra treats that were icing on the cake - hot cocoa, popcorn, coffee & tea, several breakfast items, snacks, regular and sparkling water, home made muffins, games, beach towels and chairs, and even a personalized welcome card. They kept it plenty warm inside and there were 2 extra heaters just in case. The bed is very soft, the small couch comfy, dining table the perfect size for 2-3 people, bathroom clean with cute decor, and kitchen pretty much fully stocked with anything you'd need to cook your own meals or BBQ (they have a grill on the back deck). We made use of the private deck and they helped us with the space heater while respecting social distancing and wearing a mask.
The location is also great - in a very cute quiet neighborhood, walking distance to several restaurants and the water, and very close to some really great hikes.
We had an amazing time and felt safe, allowing us to relax and have a wonderful weekend getaway. We would strongly recommend this place to anyone and hope to come back here again next time we plan a trip to El Granada!
