"We came to get away from the dreary January of Kansas. We were able to work while sitting at the table with palm leaves and sunshine in the background. We found everything we needed. We walked to the beach every day and watched the surfers with the other beach walkers. We walked to Encinitas a couple of times- we loved it- live music, ice cream and a great hamburger at The Roxy. We were in walking distance to a local upscale market, pizza, bakery, fish shop and a thrift shop"
