Other things to note:
We know this will be a place you return to time and time again.
One small, but important note: There is absolutely no cigarette or cigar smoking, vaping of any kind, or cannabis smoking or other drug use on the property. You should not book this property if you think that will be a problem or if you intend to smoke or use drugs away from the suite and bring back any lingering odors/effects as these things are very difficult to remove from linens, walls, and carpet.
Thank you for understanding.

I am a Californian now by way of Texas, New York, and a bit of Boston. More years here than there. We are family types with kids in high school and college. We spend a lot of time at our place at the beach in Newport. We enjoy wine and charcutterie and time out with friends.
Why they chose this property
Sierra Madre is the hidden gems of all gems. No one in LA knows us and that's a good thing.
What makes this property unique
We have a unique mid-century modern home built in 1948. Lots of history and beautiful, thoughtful construction that will be here for centuries to come.
