My wife and I have stayed in rentals from S OC and started migrating up the OC coast...I grew up going to SB and this was the first time back in over 30 years and I have to say, this is the sort of place, as a child, I always wished I could stay in.
Parking for 1 car, no big deal, SB is small and Kathleen is very helpful in letting you know where to park.
First off, the house is comfortable, hence the Grandmother reference. Lots of counter space, great kitchen, beds and pillow super comfortable, just open the front arcadia door then the slider in the master bedroom, perfect temp.
Everything was spotless, bathrooms are very neat and tidy.
It's literally a 2min walk to Main street where you can do just about anything. If you need to go to the store, you can literally walk up 12th st and go to Pavillions, if you're not buying too many things.
If this place is open, don't hesitate to rent it.
