    A place where I can get away for peace of mind. Also to appreciate the gift that God had given us.
  • By Jeff Caldwell
    Almost has a Disneyland like vibe. Perfection of a happy living environment. This is said from one who grew up in Pacific Palisades and Santa Barbara CA. This part of the South is a gem of perfection.
