I stayed in the master bedroom/bathroom in Thomas' house, sharing the kitchen and other common spaces with Thomas and occasionally his daughter. He was frequently working and there were no other guests, so I usually had the place to myself. Thomas was a pleasant and welcoming host. Guests are provided specific portions of the refrigerator and specific sets of dishes, but otherwise share the kitchen and eating area. The house is well equipped and comfortable. It's about 3/4 mile from the beach, but direct routes to the beach are blocked by a golf course. Effectively it is 2-3 miles to the beach. A small shopping area with a Safeway, several restaurants, stores and movie theater are within about 3/4 mile. The main downtown area is about 3 miles away.
