Great experience for me, my wife, and seven year old son. We stayed 6 nights and were so glad we found this rental. The location is perfect, we lived in San Diego several years ago and loved La Jolla Shores. Incredibly easy access to the beach and places to eat.
The rental has just about everything we needed. Make sure you check the laundry shed, right ehind the unit as it has a ton of beach toys, a wide wheel wagon to haul them, and table and chairs you can set up on the sidewalk in front of your building.
Kitchen and btahroom are fantastic, all modern, even a cutting edge toilet. Bed was very comfortable and the futon couch was easy to adjust.
Would highly recommend this place and would stay there again.
There isn't central air, it has portable air and heating units. If you leave the air off and windows closed it will get stuffy inside as it is very air tight and quiet. We use the ceiling fans but in retrospect we should have cracked some windows open.
There is washer and dryer right behind the unit, but we could have used a folding drying rack to get wet clothes dry without having to use the w/d.
Could use new linens for the couch/futon but the linens for the bed were great.
Everything was there as advertised, we never felt a need to contact Christine for anything and we were there for a while.
We know San Diego very well, having lived there for several years and this is fantastic location and an amazing rental. You can walk the beach from La Jolla Shores to Torey Pines, We walked 14 miles our first day there. You can rent kayaks across the street and paddle down to La Jolla Cove. 5 minute drive to Mt. Soledad, 18 minutes to Blaboa Park, zoo, or Gas Lamp, maybe 30 to Coronado. Very easy access to Torey Pines, Del Mar, Solana Beach.
A wonderful family vacation for us.
