I stayed three days in this house, and almost didn't have enough time to take advantage of all the perks of this place. They're mostly in the description, but the description doesn't exaggerate. The two decks have lovely views for an outdoor meal or glass of wine (or pretending you're lord of all you survey while just reading a book). The indoor pool/hot tub/sauna is beautiful, clean, and warm.

The house itself is huge for a "studio," with a high ceiling and enough space for distinct areas for dining, kitchen, relaxing, bed. The house is completely separate from the host's, and privacy was absolute. And for practical matters, the kitchenette works great, the shower gets hot quickly, the TV is huge and comes with satellite.

The only drawback - I guess - is that it's ~10 minutes up a bumpy road into the hills. But so what? You've gotta climb somewhere for views like this! There's plenty of beaches, BBQ, hiking, froofy ice cream, and shopping just down the hill. I'm loving this place and would jump at the chance to stay again soon.
