Ella’s Escape

Welcome to Ella`s Escape! This quiet, comfortable home is located on the Elk Creek Beach Promenade, a beautiful wooded trail that leads down to the Pacific Ocean. Across the promenade`s oyster shell pathway is a forest preserve that separates Ella`s Escape from the hustle and bustle of the town center and newly developing neighborhoods. Ella`s Escape is also located directly on the "South Alder Park". This park hosts a community fireplace, with wood provided. The lawn is ideal for croquet, and a bocce ball court is a popular attraction for all ages. A picnic table, grill, benches and chairs round out the amenities that make for an inviting gathering place for South Alder Park guests. If you`re looking for more active recreation, a one-minute stroll down the Elk Creek Beach Promenade will take you to Crescent Park, the site of the indoor swimming pool. Crescent Park also hosts two community fire pits (with wood), horseshoes, shuffleboard, a lawn for badminton, volleyball and other active sports, plus lots of fun park toys. Guests love Ella Escape`s enclosed porch that fronts on the Elk Creek Beach Promenade and forest preserve. The space is furnished with a mission rocker and other period furniture that make for a nice transition between the indoors and outdoors. Board games, books and puzzles provide a variety of diversions when the weather turns a bit damp. Or, simply enjoy the view down the promenade and into the forest. Those looking for more fresh air can move out into the large covered front porch facing South Alder Park, where cedar Adirondack table and chairs provide additional gathering space. When the sun comes out, head out back where you can spend some time lounging in rustic cedar furniture, perhaps enjoying a beverage or meal while listening to the ocean surf through the woods. The combined living/dining room provides a comfortable great room experience. It includes a 40" LED TV with Roku and Netflix with unlimited streaming. Leather chair and queen sleeper sofa. The mango wood dining table, chairs and bench will comfortably seat seven guests. French doors open out into the enclosed porch to expand the experience. High speed wireless internet is available throughout the home. There is also an abundance of original artwork in the cottage. Upstairs are two bedrooms furnished with art nouveau, arts and crafts, and art deco antiques. Each comes with its own full bathroom. One room comes complete with children`s books and toys while the other has a memory foam queen mattress, a 32" Sony HDTV and DVD player resting on an antique cabinet. The kitchen is completely furnished with everything you`ll need to prepare your favorite dishes, including a gas range with six burners and a griddle. Enjoy the eclectic mix of vintage silver-plate flatware, china and jadeite, plus plenty of new dishes and stemware. For guests who are inclined to grill, you`ll also have your own private gas BBQ available on the covered back porch. Come Escape in our beach house -- you’ll be sure to love it!
