Cabana
The detached garage has been converted into a cabana that has a large washer/dryer under a butcher block counter and sink. The cabana also has casual seating that we use as a reading nook and French sliding doors that can be opened up on a warm day or night.

Back Yard & Patio
The back door leads right to a brick patio that steps down to a quaint garden with succulents, flowering shrubs and lemon trees. There is a day bed that’s great for lounging in the nice weather, especially in the afternoon.
Notes:
*One compact car fits in the driveway and there is plenty of street parking right outside the house. Please make sure to check the street signs before parking.
*The fireplace is not to be used. Decorative purposes only.
* We installed Arlo cameras in front and back of the house but will disable them when the guests are here.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good---the space is structurally great (5 of 5 stars).It's beautiful, spacious, and well lit.It's well located to restaurants & grocery stores.The bad---interacting with the owner.Throughout, the owner consistently dismissed my concerns and requests.6 days lacked advertised (WiFi) or implied amenities (hot water).Communications:When I asked where the lock-box was for check-in,the owner repeated the original unclear instructions(note the lockbox is at the back gate, not the front-door gate).When informed that the WiFi did not work,The owner refused to contact me by phone to fix it.Instead the owner(1) sent messages I needed WiFi to see,(2) repeated incorrect WiFi info,(3) passed me off to property management & internet provider,who ultimately still had to contact the owner to make the needed changes.Re hot water, the owner refused my requeststo not be further disturbed by technicians,once clear they would not finish repairs before I checked out.
