Relaxing, Romantic, and Fun! Private, Quiet, and Less than a mile to the Ocean!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and cannot say enough good things about this beautiful guest home. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The home itself (as well as the yard) is phenomenal — comfortable, welcoming, beautifully maintained, and truly the perfect getaway spot for my husband and me as we celebrated 25 years of marriage.The location was also ideal and made it easy for us to enjoy so much of Southern California. During our stay, we explored San Diego and visited the USS Midway, spent time in La Jolla, enjoyed Oceanside with a whale watching cruise, local shopping, great local food, the pier, the Top Gun house, and relaxing while watching surfers. We also drove the PCH to Malibu, visited Calabasas, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, South Pasadena, several famous film locations, and even made it to Joshua Tree National Park.After full days of sightseeing, it was such a pleasure to come back and relax here. It was peaceful, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. We made so many wonderful memories, shared lots of laughs, and truly could not have picked a better place to stay.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect home base for a Southern California getaway.

We loved our six-night stay here. The space was quiet, spotless, well-designed, and perfect for two. There was lots of natural light from big windows (with blinds), and it had the best nighttime indoor lighting we’ve ever had in a rental. The patio was really large and nicely furnished. The bed and pillows were super comfy, and we appreciated the great shower, modern appliances, and quality kitchenware. It’s not often you get lots of empty, horizontal spaces for your own “stuff”—it felt spacious. The cottage and patio sit well behind the main house, and the layout and landscaping give you absolute privacy. It’s a nice neighborhood, and the location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. Pam was delightful, and it’s obvious that she cares a lot about offering people a warm and welcoming place. Highly recommend.

We had a great time. Pam was a terrific host. The Cottage was immaculate, perfect, in terms of size (for two adults),and absolutely spotless. She thought of everything, chargers for the phones, nice little welcome snacks. Absolutely a gem of a place to stay. Close to the beach and restaurants.

I felt like I was home when I entered the casita! A well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, plenty of table space and outlets for electronics. Reliable wi-fi. Beautifully decorated. Everything needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoors is inviting with multiple spaces to relax with privacy. A quiet, walkable neighborhood and a short drive to all activities and amenities. Walk to coffee shops, the lagoon, or the ocean. A short drive to hiking trails, parks, and many quaint California towns. I've used VRBO for many rentals and this is a superior property. The owner is accessible, friendly and wants to make a stay as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend this rental and will stay again when possible. Barb R

We couldn’t of a asked for a nicer place to stay. Pam went above and beyond as our host. Such a comfortable and enjoyable casita and private but with a large backyard and everything possible for a fun evening! Thank you Pam!!

Here is my very personal checklist of likes: Convenience: Very close to freeway entrance/exit, making it accessible to virtually any city in the region. Noise: In spite of freeway proximity, home is amazingly quiet! Ours not to reason why. It just is….. Kitchen: Fully equipped for all cooking needs, even though we didn’t cook. Well stocked with coffee, tea, etc. Bed: Definitely comfortable and we’re picky! Exercise: Area is very conducive to walking. One doesn’t have to climb up and down steep hills, whether it’s to the ocean, shopping area and restaurants, or simply strolling around the neighborhood.. TV: Easy to understand. For a change, we didn’t have to fight and struggle to find the channels we wanted. Water purifier: We didn’t have to run out and buy bottled water because she has a built in system. This was one of our favorite rentals, and we have done many over the past 20 plus years. Cottage was beautifully appointed with a light and airy feel, yet private as it’s tucked away behind the host’s house. Garden and patio area is lovely, and Pam bends over backwards to keep her guests happy. We definitely plan to return!

My husband and I had stayed at Pam’s place a couple of years ago, we were so happy when we found out it was available. Pam’s place is so convenient, walking to beach, restaurants, shops. If you don’t want to walk she has two bikes to use., and of course all the beach stuff you may need, chairs, umbrella, etc. The casita is cozy, well decorated, everything we needed was there. The private backyard was perfect for morning coffee, a nap in the afternoon and a glass of wine in the evening, beautiful plants and trees all around. We had a nice evening around the fire pit with Pam and her husband Thanks Pam ❤️ Hope to be back soon

Everything went as smoothly as possible. Pam is a wonderful communicator and we hope to return one day.

Pam is an amazing host and the casita she built in back is perfect. Close to Everything you could need as well.

This property was wonderful and the host was equally as wonderful to deal with.
