Activities and Attractions

A reference letter from Lauren Segan of California: 
 
"Honestly, I can only give John McCormack's house the highest recommendation. It is a beautiful,  
spacious, airy, sun-filled, elegantly-designed-yet-totally-comfortable house with a lovely garden  
and charm galore. The architectural work of art--the master bedroom and bath--is absolutely  
luxurious. There's a soaking (jacuzzi) tub and a large shower that also has a steam room setting.  
The gas fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom add so much cozy feeling to the place.. I  
roll out of bed for a 6am yoga class (at a terrific studio btw, (yogaworks) a half a blockaway, the  
hip/organic people-watching hot spot, Urth Cafe is literally on the corner, a raw food restaurant  
and Peet's Coffee (so much better than Starbuck's!) are all within steps of the house, as  
well as lots of littleshops, a bodega-like grocery store, a tiny little gelato place AND a Ben and  
Jerry's. There's a neighborhood farmer's market every Sunday morning, which is also a happenin'  
event, as well as the historic little library nearby, which is sweet and terribly convenient.  
There's also the surf and skateboard shops/scene to round it allout and keep the neighborhood  
authentic (this is the original "Dogtown" after all)."But the best thing about being at John's  
house, I think, is that although it is truly right at the beach, it isn't hostage to the incessantly- 
loud, nonstop party vibe that the more famous nearby Venice Beach is known for. The fact that the  
house is tucked away on a one-way street behind a busier, more commercial avenue (Main  
Street), means that it's really quiet and sanctuary-like. When you want all the stimulation of  
the "city" life or the endless summer scene of the beach, it's right there in front of you, with a  
great bike/running/'walking path, volleyball, basketball and chess games, and the totally  
entertaining "muscle beach" crowd, but then when you just want to be away from it all, nestled in,  
you've got John's lovely oasis to come back to, the place which you definitely begin tocall "home"  
during your stay.
