Home Again in Hermosa

I lived in Hermosa Beach for two years and moved away back to the "Inner City" of Los Angeles because I went to the beach maybe three times in those two years. Something about having the beach at my disposition disposes me to take it for granted. Since it's been a few years since I've actually taken advantage of being at the beach, I decided to rent a room for only $77 per night from AirBnB in my former home town, proving that you can indeed go home again, even though it may not be exactly the same home you left.

I stayed over a Sunday and Monday night, so I had practically the entire beach to myself.

The room I rented included full use of the immaculate kitchen, a BBQ, a covered parking space, and wifi. The owner, Todd, provided all the towels, linens, and even beach chairs!

There was even a large dining room off one of the three patios.

The house itself was on three levels, with a living room and loft/office space with a pinball machine that had a wonderful deck.

The top level had a nice couch with panoramic views of the ocean two blocks away and a large patio (hammock use optional).

This was the view from the top level office/deck space.

I had my own spacious room with small patio, full bathroom, walk-in closet, and flat screen tv. The room was so comfortable I could have stayed in it all day if the beach didn't beckon.

The beach was the entire reason for my stay, so I spent my days on the soft white sand, reading, napping, and trying to decide where to eat:)
