Our daughter's high school softball team traveled to Torrance, CA to play in a tournament, so my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a beach get-away at the same time. And it certainly was a treat! We spent 3 nights in the quiet studio just a 2-minute walk from The Strand and the beach! The house is quiet, clean and has plenty of natural light. We enjoyed the fireplace, and the huge walk-in shower/bathroom. We never turned the TV on because we didn't want to break the beautiful silence! We enjoyed patio eating at Martha's, and Bottled Inn, we frequented The Green Store, as well as other restaurants, shops, and Hermosa Beach Pier--all within walking distance. We took advantage of the bikes that are available, riding down to Redondo Beach (and beyond) several times. We also enjoyed just sitting in Jackie's beautiful backyard soaking up the sun and relaxing. We rented a car because we needed to get around to the different softball fields, so having a parking space was a bonus too. However, it is a short drive from LAX, and if your goal is to relax, you might not even need a car. Jackie is friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away! I am already trying to figure out when I can return.
