"The house was perfect. The location was perfect. The ocean view was perfect. The only grumble from my kids was the rockiness of the beach… which has nothing to do with the beautiful home. So we drove 7 mins down the street to Santa Teressa and life was all good again. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway for your family, this tucked away gem is perfect. Close enough to everything, but far away enough to hear only the holwer monkeys. "
