Description

Studio-like space with separate keyed entrance, private bathroom with shower, furnished kitchenette, large walk-in closet, free parking on premises (for 1 car); Ideal extended get-away for 1 vacationer who prefers privacy and independence.

At least 24 hours prior to arrival, Guest and Owner will sign a lease agreement (minimum 1-month, maximum 3-month stay). Discounts apply for longer stays.

My "Sanctuary by the Sea," a former dance studio and meditation room, is an ideal get-away spot for 1 vacationer, especially those who enjoy beach walking, hiking, surfing, SUP'ing, whale watching, etc, as well as those who prefer privacy/independence. Looking to settle down in the Central Coast? This is the perfect space to live until you find your permanent residence.

The mirrors bring plenty of daylight into the studio and make the unit feel spacious. The combination of greens & browns throughout facilitate relaxation & produce an undeniable coziness in the space. The modest adornments bring a playful yet mellow vibe. I dare to say: most guests will be delighted if not enchanted after a night or two in my "Sanctuary by the Sea."

ADDITIONAL AMENITIES: Owner will launder bedding and napkins once a month (3rd Friday after check in). No other laundry services are included.

THIS STUDIO IS YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

Response from the owner Just to clarify for future guests, a high quality speaker (in lieu of a stereo) is made available to guests. You can hook up your ipod or other electronic device and listen to your music; the jawbone jambox speaker is also capable of blue tooth connection.
