Very beautiful location, if you have never been to California this place would blow your mind with how breathtaking the area and property is. I took lots of pictures because we just couldn't get over how amazing the drive to the house and everything at the house was. That being said, because of the current detour that Chris mentions, it is about 15-20 minutes to the nearest store. The area got hit very hard by floods this winter, if it wasn't for that this property would literally be like 3-4 minutes from the beach and lots of stores/restaurants - you don't get a better "secluded" but close to everything spot than this. The detour is a breathtaking drive and never gets dull to see, there was just a few times we had to run to the store and it was a bit much for us with an infant. As far as the actual living space goes, it was very upscale, beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and stocked with food & drinks which we were super grateful for. The space was also fully stocked with towels, blankets, pillows, sheets and other things. Even a toothbrush, soap, all those things you would have in your own house. As far as communication, Chris was amazing. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and knew about the place. She made sure we knew how to get there (contacted us way ahead with very precise directions) and checked in with us as we were on our way to make sure everything was going okay for us. It so happened that my wife accidentally dropped her Drivers License in the road on our way out. Chris notified us immediately as soon as it was found and arranged with neighbors to get it to us -
this was extra nice as of her as she was out of town on vacation for our entire stay. It also says something about the neighborhood. Luckily we were able to retrieve it since we were flying out of California the next day and it was my wife's only ID. Thanks for everything Chris, we truly appreciated your place and hospitality.
