I love this place!
The house has a quiet, peaceful, relaxed, easy feeling about it with an open downstairs layout and sliding glass doors that spill onto a gracious deck and beautiful green backyard which at this time of year was bordered to one side by mature and blossoming purple lilacs which added substantial pops of color and fragrance to the scene. Just gorgeous! We spent most of our time on the back deck which is ideal any time of day -- morning coffee, outdoor lunch and evening hangtime.
The location is a short walk to first beach and then the Cliff Walk and I went for a lovely run in the other direction past Second Beach and on to Third Beach. If you don't feel like cooking there is a fabulous little Italian market (Bottega Bocconi) selling coffees and pastries, homemade pastas and sauces just a short walk from the house. And check out Clementine's ice cream -- the best and a dangerously short walk from the house!
It's amazing to me how quiet and peaceful the property feels while being steps away from restaurants, provisions and beaches.
Everything functioned well at the house and Tom was beyond awesome as a host. He met me at the property and went over things about the house; he responded to every communication in a timely and informative way; he was flexible about our departure time which just made the day so much more relaxed and enjoyable, particularly for our short, weekend stay. And he went above and beyond the call of duty to let me know that I had left a phone charger there and followed up completely with that as well -- such a thoughtful, kind and caring host. I can't recommend this place highly enough and hope all future visitors enjoy it as much as we did!
