We had such a lovely time at Susanne's home. The location was perfect! We were so close to the beaches, restaurants and shopping (Whole Foods, Target, Ross and then lots of great surf shops). I traveled with my 3 children and the home was very comfortable and well thought out. Lots of board games to play and even sweet touches for the very young children with books and some toys. Home was very clean and had all the extra amenities that made our stay even better. My children 15, 13 and 8 asked a few times on the way home if we could rent this house again. Since I was traveling alone (with my children) this was a safe neighborhood, close to stores and easy access to the beach which made this a great place for kids. Thank you both to Laurel and Susanne for this wonderful home away from home.
