Crystal Cove is a very special place. It took me years to figure out how to score a reservation, but now I’m lucky enough to get one each year. This will be the first year I’ve ever gotten a week in the summer. That is the hardest to get! Worth every penny! Being that close to the ocean and just staring at it’s beauty all day, is my favorite. My kids never get out of the water. The staff is amazing and always happy! The restaurant is my least favorite..it’s fabulous food and an outstanding location, but very expensive and the staff can be rude..not all of them, but some of them.
