We loved our stay at Patti’s. Our favorite thing about it was being able to walk to the ocean cliffs in 2 mins, not exaggerating. We spent every morning and evening staring at the ocean. It was such a healing experience. This made up for the fact that it can be hot and muggy in the area.
That means that mold and bugs are a thing, but you should expect that in the Hilton as well. Patti’s pets Kai and Sugar were very sweet and friendly. Patti is a sweet soul, she left tropical fruits on our doorstep regularly.
The wifi was good. My wife had no problem working from there. We also had access to a washer and dryer. Patti let us use her snorkels and beach chairs, and a little cooler that’s in the kitchen closet.
The neighborhood is amazing. People will say hello to you more often than not. At the end of the drive there is an area with tide pools. It’s very beautiful. Please pick up your trash and and be careful. Don’t turn your back to the waves. That could be a fatal mistake. This is not a place to go swimming or surfing, but fishing, yes!
All in all, this is a great place if you want some ocean medicine. It’s nothing fancy! If you’re looking for upscale, this is not for you. This is a humble home surrounded by good people. We loved our stay and would definitely come back.
