We would definitely love to stay here again. Stephanie was super responsive and accommodating. Safe, clean, ideally located, comfortable home away from home.
The home is in a prime location, walking distance (5 min, 3 blocks) to the fine white sand beach, easy driving to grocery stores and restaurants, safe neighborhood (far enough from the beach boardwalk to avoid tourists and vagrants). It is professionally cleaned and stocked on arrival with plenty of essentials (bonus: oil, salt, pepper, sugar, spices, drinks in fridge)- you don't need to bring ANYTHING. Beds and sheets were super comfortable. W/D in kitchen was stocked. There are boogie boards, beach towels, one long board, umbrellas, and a wagon to get it all to the beach. The hot tub was nice, hot, and very clean. The smart TV and streaming options were excellent. There are USB slots in the electric outlets. The enclosed grass backyard patio table was nice for family meals. You get 2 keys. AC was excellent. Check in/out instructions were excellent. There is a hard copy of the orientation manual for all the relevant appliances. Stephanie takes great care of this property.
Really really minor notes:
1. Garage is small. 200"x78" minivan barely fit. Alley is narrow- need to back into garage.
2.There is construction across the street during daylight hours (June 2021).
3.Air conditioning loud.
4.Neighbors can see in windows at night (living room, dining room, back kitchen window, master bedroom) so we just hung sheets or closed the blinds.
5.There is a tenant above the detached back alley garage who can see into the back windows (we hung sheets). The garage forms the back wall of the enclosed yard. The side neighbors were audible in the night.
6.The indoor hot tub turns itself on automatically (?maybe to clean) on some sort of schedule. We just turned it off when we were in the unit.
7.Shower pressure was a little low. But that's probably a San Diego thing.
7.Ralph's will give member discount if you say you "forgot" your card. Cashiers have temp cards.
Recommend: garage remote to open/close the garage door without getting out of the car.
Stephanie, thank you VERY VERY MUCH for an awesome and relaxing vacation!!!!
