Marie's home is a great little beach house with some modern upgrades like granite countertops and a stainless steel appliances. The rest of the house has a beachy feel with shells and nautical decor, and you can smell the ocean from any part of the house. The size of the home is perfect for a small family like mine (husband/wife and infant). The master bed was comfortable but tall people beware - my husband is 6'2" and his feet hung off the end of the bed a little bit. The amenities are nice, with a small patio in the back, washer/dryer, A/C, a large TV with Netflix, etc., fireplace, fooseball table, WIFI, and nice kitchen appliances. The couch is a bit worn and not the most comfortable but not a problem if you don't plan on relaxing on the couch. We had a small issue with the cleanliness of the floors and Marie was very communicative and was quick to try to make it right. The location of the house is great, close to grocery stores, coffee shops, and a quick 10-15 drive for day excursions down to the beaches or theme parks. We drove down to La Jolla and it was beautiful. It was also a close distance down to Pacific Beach for a nice breakfast with an ocean view. Overall, the house was basically what we expected based on the pictures and reviews from other guests. Marie was a great host!
