Magical Views
The views from this property are absolutely stunning. Sitting on our deck we saw an otter, dolphins, and even some whales in the distance. The stars were also incredibly clear overhead, which surprised us given the proximity to a big city. Views from the master bedroom are 100% ocean. We slept with the windows open and enjoyed the ocean sounds and the cool breeze.
There are steps leading down directly to the beach. Depending on the tide, sometimes the steps lead directly into the ocean and there was no beach, but on most days, we were able to walk on the beach in either direction. The place is located right on the Pacific Coast Highway, with Santa Monica Pier 20-30 minutes in one direction and the Santa Monica Mountains 20 minutes in the other direction. There are also plenty of restaurants, shops, and public beaches everywhere in between both spots.
The place is quite comfortable though not fancy. We had all that we needed for meals at home, and we made lots of use of the patio table and chairs. I barely sat down indoors! One and a half baths and two bedrooms with comfortable and firm beds with lots of extra blankets and pillows. There were also multiple washing machines in the garage and plenty of towels. We had everything we needed, and we will definitely return!
