This was the perfect spot

I loved it there! It is the perfect spot. Cute little studio with an all wooden shower, which we loved. Out back was its own little peaceful area. The beach is walking distance and we got to see a surfing competition.

This is our third year in a row staying here! My granddaughters and I just love it! They look forward to it every year for their birthdays! Check-in is easy, the place is always clean and so charming. The little patio and outdoor shower are a big plus. And having a parking space is a huge win not to mention the beach being just a few blocks away! We love it! See ya again next year!

A dream stay

This place is a gem. Small but not at all cramped. Beautifully decorated and clean. It is quiet and very close to the beach, groceries, dining, etc. The yard is private and relaxing with wonderful birds. And very reasonably priced. We cant wait to return. Highly recommend. And Alisa is a wonderful host.

Perfect hideaway after a long travel day. Wonderful hosts and welcome. Comfortable bed. The shower was so lovely and refreshing with the wood and open windows and skylight. Off-street parking was a perk. We loved this was the start of our vacation adventure. Walking distance to the ocean. We watched the sunset and it was perfect.
