“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or, like the snow-fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever.”

~Robert Burns

I went in search of meadows with purple flowers among the orange poppies and was rewarded with this ~ a ring of yellow mustards. And a contrasting sky with rain clouds to the south.

Due to the recent winter rains in Southern California, hillsides are bursting with colors of wildflowers. These hills especially are covered with mostly the poppies-California Flower. Soon the hills will turn brown unless we get more rains. Visitors are flocking to these hills by the thousands these past few weeks to witness this amazing phenomenon!

Hope you enjoy!

"Michelle and Greg were great host they very kind and generous. Very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Absolutely lovely place to stay."

"We had a great time! So peaceful and beautiful "

"Wonderful time on the property. We all had so much fun exploring. The property manager went above and beyond explaining the property and all the crops to us. It’s a real gem and we all can’t wait to come back and see the growth of the guava trees. The only area of opportunity was the shower never heated up above lukewarm regardless how long it was left on and the 4 am smoke alarm battery was a bit disturbing but was not anyone’s fault and could not have been prevented. "

"Amazing loved everything the property Can't wait to go back"

"Fun little property with very attentive hosts. They obviously have worked hard to create a magical hideaway and they love sharing it with their guests."

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The price is excellent for the location. Right on the harbor. Within walking distance to many restaurants, activities and shopping. Hotel and room are a little dated, but clean and comfortable. "
