Amazing place, truly wonderful hosts! First, the location was awesome. It was a few houses away from Pacific Avenue - but you wouldn't know it, as it was peaceful, quiet, and private. Two of our favorite local haunts were literally a block away (the Bagelry for breakfast and Jalapeños taqueria) and everything else on Pacific Ave was a short walk away. Even better was the boardwalk, Cowell's beach (great for beginning surfing), and the Westcliff path to Natural Bridges are all easily walkable from the house. The house itself was immaculately clean and recently updated with all new appliances. Our favorite feature, however, was the long upstairs south-facing porch under the palm trees where we basked in the sun. The hosts (Mike and Ashlie) were outstanding - probably the best hosts we've ever encountered. We were there over Thanksgiving and they really set us up with everything we needed. Super nice folks, wonderful family, great apartment. We'll be back...
