Oh my gosh. Caroline and Anthony have thought of everything and then some for us and our two kiddos (6&9yo). This sweet little place is a three block walk to the beach, it is centrally located to so many restaurants and shops and the hosts have gone above and beyond with thoughtful touches that made our stay enjoyable. There were cold beers at the ready when we arrived, popsicles in the freezer and board games for the kids, a whole box of beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards (which our kids went crazy for!), bikes and helmets for the whole family (and even a bike trailer if you have a little one you'd like to pull!), sand toys galore...we felt SO well taken care of. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off all of the sand before you come inside, a nice grill and fire pit too. We bought groceries at the Trader Joe's a few blocks away so we could stock up on beach snacks and breakfast food for the mornings and spent most of our time at the beach just down the road. We also went to the San Diego Zoo one day, which is a short drive away and was amazing.
Our kids slept on the pullout couch and we slept in the bedroom. There isn't much extra space, but it didn't matter to us one bit. Our kids never wanted to leave. Everything was clean, and thoughtful touches were everywhere. We would love to stay here again some day!
