An overall nice experience for something different. Would stay again. Strengths: Well located with a nice view of Pico and the ocean. Well done appointed rooms with comfortable beds. Amenities such as laundry, drying racks, tea kettles, bikes, and common room. Fresh bread and local cheese were great. Store with many staples. Animals to pet and feed. Opportunities: Noise from nearby construction and operating business plus neighboring dogs was distracting. One egg each for included breakfast.

Wonderful cozy house with a fully equipped kitchen. The food supplied on our arrival was unexpected and appreciated as we arrived later than expected. Quiet, friendly community right near the ocean with trails within walking distance of the home.

"Tout était parfait : l’emplacement, les installations, le personnel, la chambre. Seul hic : il n’y a pas de chauffage, donc par temps frais (ce qui était notre cas en mai), la chambre est humide et un peu inconfortable. On nous a donné un édredon supplémentaire, mais ça ne changeait rien à l’air ..."
