The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the location was fantastic. Just a short walk to restaurants, bars, coffee places, it has a 3-4 mile bike path on the beach side with all kinds of fun stops. The house included bikes, the garage was perfect for our 4Runner as parking would have been difficult. The bay side is only a 1-2 block walk to where additional restaurants, shops and bars are located. Also the Catalina Flyer (ferry) is right there so a day trip to Catalina Island was a real treat too! The trip was just fantastic, my children loved their first trip to California (from Texas) and we'll definitely be back!!
