I expected the whole house, but it was the penthouse … there was a resident underneath and a store underneath that. While it did not impact our experience, it was not what I expected. I also expected it to be closer to more restaurants and shops without requiring walking on a highway. The parking was very tight and we scraped the side of our car trying to make the turn from the back of the house to get in the garage. Had space been available that night we’d have backed into an outside parking space so we could have avoided the extremely tight turn into the garage. The beach was amazing yet difficult to get down to for walking. The TVs were streaming only, no cable. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The house was very clean and all of the bedding smelled very fresh. The views were absolutely amazing! The house looked just like the pictures. Gorgeous California residence!
