Overall, great experience, would definitely do it again - actually planning to.
House is great, location is great, perfect size for the 5 of us (2 couples one single). Quiet and friendly neighborhood. Bathrooms are nice, good size, and great condition.
Zip code is La Jolla, but I'd consider this more of a PB residence…which we prefer. PB is very friendly, approachable, walkable. We walked to get our groceries, meals etc, enjoyed the (always perfect) SD weather. The 'French Bakery' down the street we highly recommend, walking distance and delicious - great for lunch or dinner. If you're a fan of Pizza, especially Chicago Deep Dish - I'd recommend Regents Pizza, location is just within their delivery range, and the pizza is fabulous. Bird Rock coffee is a family favorite, and within a nice morning walk from the house.
I can't say enough of the view. I lived in SD for 15 years, many locations, even had an ocean view in Cardiff, but honestly, this is the best view I've ever seen in SD - including all the houses we visited and all the hotels I've stayed in. But then, I love San Diego - so maybe I'm biased to this particular view. You do not get the Sunset view (can walk half a block up the street to see that if you like). Sunsets are a nice 5 minutes, but this view is honestly 24 hours - or until a heavy fog rolls in.
The house has plenty of screened windows and we were able to keep the house a nice temperature just using windows and supplied fans. The house get's a bit warm in the afternoon and the sun beams through the full length windows - but we never needed the A/C. We did briefly use the heat on the last morning, to take the chill off - it was quick and effective.
Pros:
- Great view of City, Coronado Bridge, Mission Bay, and Ocean Beach
- 3 nice size rooms, good beds
- Very nice kitchen/great room
- Table with umbrella for enjoying the SD weather and view
- Kitchen has everything you need, including drip coffee maker and French press
- Off street parking with covered parking
