Testimonials for the Boyer's Hermosa Beach home:
Al and Andrea,
Thank you so much for the beach house for the week. The Reis family had a fabulous time--we sunbathed, walked, boogey boarded, biked, jogged, surfed, swam, cooked, laughed, reminisced and had the best time...mostly due to the lovely environment of your gorgeous Hermosa Beach home.
Your generosity and graciousness--the sharing of your "home" with complete strangers--is very deeply appreciated. We all felt completely at home, and it was wonderful to be together as a family and to be able to relax in such a comfortable home. It is clear that you have thought of "everything." And it is also very clear that your house is a "home"--that's what really makes spending time there so special.
The Reis Family

Dear Mr.Boyer:
The Reis family reunion at your Hermosa Beach residence was a total success and, now that we have all returned to our homes in OK, TX, FL and IL, we are all California dreamin' of our next family outing. Your beach home was beautiful and each time we'd venture out into LA, say to the Getty Museum, San Juan Capistrano or for a dinner outside the area, we all looked forward to returning to the home to the casual pace and cool Pacific breeze. Esco came in nearly each day and straightened up behind us and we much appreciated her thoughtfulness. We never did take up her offer to cook for us and that was probably a mistake. The days were usually so busy that each time we thought of her offer, we'd made plans to dine elsewhere. The kids had a great time too. Chad, who had been skateboarding since he was an adolescent, rented a surfboard and had a go at the real deal. Neely miraculously found time to break free of her iPhone and explore the environs too.
Again, we all want to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay at your home in Hermosa Beach.
