After a few long months of stress we decided we needed to get-away for the weekend. We had a few minor things on our wish list - peace and quiet and beautiful place to ride our bikes.

I searched far and wide at every possible weekend get-away. I looked at lodges and cabins, at hotels and motels and at bed and breakfasts galore. In one of my many google searches I came across Mar Vista's website buried under pages and pages of junk. Immediately I feel in love with the place and knew this was it... this was exactly what we were looking for!

Our stay ended up being better than we could ever imagine. We often check the calendar trying to choose a date to go back...

Our Bed

What a wonderful bed, complete with European Duvet and comfortable pillows. The decor got Meghan all excited..

Rocking Chairs

Great kitchen table and rocking chairs with a view of the ocean. What more can one ask for?

Morning on the beach

Woke up really early on Saturday and went down to the beach. What a warm peaceful day. Who says paradise is only after you die?

Ready for the ride...

Well we wanted to do some riding so we got all geared up to do some fun riding... At this stage we were planning a 40 mile ride.

Give up?

OK so we needed to stop to take a picture -- NOT. I needed to stop to keep my breakfast in my stomach and get some air into my lungs
