Location Location Location. We went to San Diego for a buddies golf trip and it was amazing how the house was so close to all of the courses (Riverwalk, Coronado, Torrey Pines, Balboa). Emily was quick to respond to any questions and everything went as expected. The only thing I might mention is that if you get in at night, you need to pull the string to open the wooden gate.
There were a bunch of board games that would be great for families. We were pleasantly surprised to find good poker chips available which ended up in some fun poker play. There were also a number of kid friendly items which we didn't use but would have been helpful had we brought children with us.
All in all, A++
