Walkable wine, beach, cafes, downtown, & dolphins
Welcome to La Maison, a 99th-percentile Airbnb in all areas of guest satisfaction. I've been hosting you beautiful people for over a decade, and I've earned 500+ five-star reviews and maintained a 4.97 average. I'm not trying to boast, but those kind of numbers could get you into Harvard. I guess what I'm trying to say is, when you stay here, you'll have a 5-star experience. I promise. So, come stroll the pier, stretch out at the beach, surf amidst the dolphin pods, and sample some local wines.
