"This was our second stay at this property, the first being in 2022. We had a very relaxing stay, enjoying the cooler weather (we live in the California desert). We love using the front balcony to watch the surfers and birds flying overhead. The house has everything one needs to relax. The couch is very comfortable for 2 people to sit on and the TV is excellent! The kitchen has all that one needs to prepare meals. The house is on multiple levels with the master bedroom on the top floor. ...
