My family of 3 couples (parents in their early 60s and 2 couples in our late 20's) stayed here over the week of NYE and it was WONDERFUL! Carl made everything so easy. He was very easy to talk to and reached out a couple of times before the trip to make sure we had everything we needed as far as directions, etc. This made me feel incredibly secure that our reservation would go well, and it absolutely did. The house is at the top of a hill and the view from the back porch is gorgeous. We spent a lot of time out there for meals, playing card games in the evening when we weren't out and about, etc. The beds were comfortable and the three bedrooms provided just enough privacy for each of us couples to have some quiet time when we wanted to. The house is also just a 20 min walk to Sunset cliffs, 10min to the OB pier, and lots of great restaurants. The walking/jogging options (with great views!) from this location are plentiful.
During our trip we were able to get up to La Jolla, Torrey Pines, the San Diego Zoo, and the Midway Museum - everything was only 20 to 30 minutes away from this perfect location.
