We had such a wonderful stay! My cousins and I gather on a semi-regular basis for “Cousinpalooza,” which also includes the cousins’ children. This was simply the perfect space for all of us. There were plenty of very comfortable bedrooms, and I loved the main floor kitchen and living room, which was one long, uninterrupted space, making it great for socializing. We also had lots of fun with the games (Friends trivia and 90s trivia).
Although there is no real yard, the kids all loved running around outside on the long driveway playing some kind of made up game. We did frequently use the space in the front of the house, which is larger and more comfortable than it looks in the pictures.
There were a few small things that needed repair, but the emergency maintenance team (for a leaking fridge) was very fast to respond. I also gave feedback on what was broken so that they would have the opportunity to fix those things for future guests (they were all minor), and Laurie was very responsive to them.
Although it’s closer to the freeway, we were not bothered at all by the noise. Overall, the location is great with easy access to local beaches (we went to Shell Beach, about a 10 to 15 minute drive away).
Note, I am disabled and use a walker, and being on the first floor was extremely comfortable and accessible to me.
We would definitely stay here again! Laurie was also very accommodating to our group and I very much appreciate her flexibility.
