Randy was great and was in communication up to settling in. When we arrived Randy wasn't available but his friendly neighbor should us the ropes. Randy offered great things to do around the area and he even dropped off some local beer for us. We brought our dog and he was more then sweet with her. The pictures really don't do it justice- there is a fenced in yard that was covered with lush plants. Although not right on the beach (but a 10 min drive from it) it feels like it is--open windows and fresh air. Small and cozy and perfect for those who want to explore San Diego. I am beyond please and will be coming back for sure.
