Holly's place is a little paradise by the sea. The sunset views from the terrace are beyond magical, the garden is an oasis filled with little birds and the sounds of flowing water, the house is light, cosy and full of charm. There are a ton of things to do without driving anywhere, from swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, walking, bird-watching, beach games. I was even lucky enough to kayak amongst a pod of dolphins. Just a little bit further afield and there are all kinds of spectacular hikes, redwood forests, wildlife, a butterfly sanctuary, and wonderful, secluded beaches. Holly was an incredible host. She laid out a selection of welcome gifts including delicious local produce, and she was incredibly understanding when a family tragedy meant we were sadly forced to cut our holiday short and leave early. I couldn't recommend this place more, and I can't wait to come back again in the future. Thanks for everything Holly!
