After growing up in this beautiful coastal SoCal town in the 70's, this house immediately felt like home for us. The smell of the sea air, the expansive views of the beach and complete privacy are nostalgic for me but would be a treat to anyone who stays. In a time when we are still a bit tentative in the outside world, it is really nice to have a retreat that is close to town yet essentially on top of the mountain. For those who want an outdoor experience away from the crowds near the shore, there are a bevy of trails right down the (somewhat steep but fun) driveway so you can launch right into a morning hike after sipping coffee and having a bagel on the deck. As an interior designer and architecture enthusiast, I am always looking at craftsmanship coupled with appropriate juxtaposition with the land, this home achieves both and you can see the personal care put into the build - there is no sheetrock, all wood walls - all wrapped up in an adorable perch. The interior is a perfect time capsule of the 70's, including the record player and books and the VCR! Everything, except the beds which are super comfortable. The place was exceptionally clean, cozy and just set up in a way where you feel like you are visiting your favorite aunt, and she just baked you a pie. If you are looking for a boring hotel experience this is not the place for you; but if you want to feel like you are Home Sweet Home then I would encourage you to get in before everyone is in on this new secret!
