Great location - as stated, very close to the beach and beach shopping. It was nice to walk to the grocery store, grab a coffee and enjoy people watching so close to the villa. We felt secure within the fenced property (the property contains a number of villas/units that are connected via sidewalks w/exterior doors). The kids loved the wild parrots that would visit every morning! A few notes for alignment of expectations - the place was obviously remodeled about 7-10 years ago but not recently addressed. The couches are covered now, some of the decor is missing, the patio furniture is not what is advertised, it's simple chairs and a picnic table. Overall, it's looking tired, but still comfortable and clean. The house is also in-line with the airport flight path, which was quite surprising when we woke the first morning, but we eventually got used to the overhead noise. Perhaps the most critical point worth mentioning were the check-in and parking instructions, which were very confusing. We arrived very late from the East coast (delays and tired w/ 2 kids in tow), and our host instructions read that check-in help ends at 10pm, and if we need help to check-in after that, we should find a hotel and call them in the morning! We figured it out in the end, but that gave us pause. Parking behind the units in the alley should also be better marked, as it wasn't obvious from the instructions and driving in at midnight. Not to end on a sour note, once we arrived and settled in, location and San Diego weather kicked in, and it was all good.
