About the host
Hosted by Darwin and Sonia Pagett
Hello! My name is Sonia. My husband Darwin and I have been married for 38 wonderful years. We have 4 beautiful grown children who grew up in the South Bay, and 2 grandchildren. My husband Darwin Pagett was raised in this adorable cottage in his elementary years then moved to Hawaii until he graduated High School. He moved back to Manhattan Beach to start his own business which is now Surfline Plumbing. I’ve had the privilege of being a stay at home Mom and homeschooled our children. Once they were grown and moved out I decided to open the cottage up as a vacation rental which is my full-time job these days. I am very particular about the cleanliness so I clean it myself. When it's not being rented, Darwin and I stay there. We enjoy riding our bikes 4-5 days a week, sunbathing and surfing! We are very happy to share this vacation rental with others and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do and that it feels like home away from home for you.
Why they chose this property
Westwinds Cottage is a place full of special memories. It is a 112 year old and originally a carriage house for passing travelers who wished to rest themselves and their horses on their journey. Originally owned by Darwin's Aunt, Anne Kennedy, this property has been passed down to the Pagett family. Now we enjoy the same leisure and decided to share our experience with others. Also, it offers a location which is ideal to those seeking leisure time. Not only is it a short and pleasant walk to the seashore (0.3 miles to the pier) it also offers access to many local restaurants that myself and my family have frequented for all of our lives. We chose not to sell this property because it holds a very dear place in our hearts and I know it will have the same affect on all who choose to vacation there. We always appreciate and listen to our guests input...So this is why we have added the deck built and designed by my husband and I.
What makes this property unique
This quaint, cozy, newly remodeled cottage is decorated with a modern, relaxed beach decor, and will provide comfort and rest during your stay.
