Our family enjoyed this Silver Strand beach cottage! The home is clean, well stocked with beach gear (chairs, towels, wagon, umbrella, lots of boogie boards, coolers, etc.), the kitchen is well appointed, we felt safe in the quiet neighborhood, and the back patio was relaxing and cool in the evening. It really is just a short easy walk to the beach. Silver Strand beach is very nice and was never crowded while we were there. The water was chilly, as we expected. The owner was very responsive to the one question we had, and it was nice to know he was readily available if needed, but fortunately we didn’t need anything. The beds were comfortable, and though it got up to 90 degrees one day, the house stayed cool with the windows open and everything cooled down considerably in the evenings. We enjoyed biking around the neighborhoods and beach with the 5 beach cruisers provided. We also enjoyed a trip to the Getty Villa (about an hour away), hiking the Ray Miller trail, (about 20 minutes away) and visiting El Matador beach (about 30 minutes away). We highly recommend this charming home!
