The pool really sells this home. It's a wonderful amenity for kids who love to swim. They spent much more time in the pool than going to he beach. Very nice and cavernous master bedroom. The little kids loved the fun bunk bedroom. There were ample kitchen appliances. A generous supply of beach/pool towels and bath towels. The large TV/dining room accommodated our large group of 11.
Laura was a very responsive and active host. My only concerns were the freeway noise that is constant. In one sense, it's like white noise to which you soon grow accustomed, but it did force us to shut the windows at nice. And it did. It down on any sounds from neighbors (and visa versa). Also, there was no operational a/c for a few of the nights and days that were hotter than usual. Another warning is the neighborhood is high atop a VERY Steep Mt Soledad road-- if you're not up for a challenging walk/run/bike. Also, most shipping requires a car due to distance. Minor gripes. It was a fun week at his home. Don't forget your swim suits.
