We stayed at 4231 Appleton St. in San Diego and had a wonderful time. The house was easy to find and the entire place was clean, cool, and inviting when we arrived. The hosts, David and Barbara Morrison, left a personalized welcome note and bottle of wine on the table for us. These would be the first of many gifts we would find, as all the bathrooms were fully stocked with towels and soap, and in the garage were beach towels, pool noodles, and boogie boards – everything we needed for a summer weekend in San Diego.
The house itself contained three bedrooms, including a master suite with attached bathroom (including a spa tub and rain shower), and a kids-themed room with bunk beds. Two bathrooms total, and a full kitchen and breakfast nook by the main living area.
Naturally in August we wanted to spend our time outside, and the backyard almost made us forget to go to the beach. The swimming pool, barbeque station, and outdoor lounge area added a feeling of luxury that contrasted nicely with the cozy interior. And located 15 min from Pacific Beach (a coastal, local nightlife hotspot) this place was a perfect home base from which to explore the area.
