We were a family of 3 adults and 2 children. While the furnishings basic, the beds were very comfortable. The location and floor plan and back deck were ideal for our needs . Besides being close to our San Diego family grocery stores and coffee house near by. The deck has 2 defined areas - exactly as appears in the photos. The lower area with the long table was perfect for the aduts and the upper deck area worked well for the children - where we could create a "picnic area". In house laundry and beach towels a plus. I gave two 4 stars for some minor cleaning details which Tj responded to and for high cost (partly due to a desirable season when rates are higher) , in the end all was worth it , because the children had fun andwe connected wth family. All in all Tj a great host- checking in with me and responding immeadiately to my messages.
