This place has a great location near the beach, grocery, shops, and restaurants. It is very clean and has thoughtful extras like fruit and water upon arrival, and toys and a crib for young children. It worked perfectly for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. The patio space is nice also. The kitchen had all the cookware we needed, and the pantry had some basic seasonings and coffee. We did not see the hosts but contacted them once with a question and they responded very promptly. We spent our days at the beach and Legoland and the house was convenient to both. The beach is walking distance but we chose not to haul the kids and beach things on foot. We were able to find close parking at the beach each time. There is also a YMCA in walking distance that made it easy to get in a workout as a visiting member. Overall our stay was even better than expected! We would love to stay again next time we visit San Diego!!
