Caroline & Anthony's place is so welcoming! It is a very quaint spot with all of the amenities that make it so much homier than a sterile hotel room or a place owned by a property management group (in our experience). Things like coffee, tissues, laundry pods, sugar, kitchen supplies (pots, pans, spatulas, etc.) make you feel like you're staying at a friend's house.
The baby stuff is on point if you've got little ones. We traveled with a toddler and the pack n' play and high chair were a godsend, along with kid plates and cups - all the stuff you don't want to pack on a trip, but then desperately want to have when you are there. They even have a white noise machine!
The beach supplies are great, especially the toys, towels, and chairs, which are high quality things that are comfy and useful. The walk to the beach itself is not bad - about 10-15 minutes directly down the street, and there are tons of coffee shops (Better Buzz Coffee is delish!) and restaurants along the way, all within walking distance.
Best of all is the courtyard/patio space. The apartment is very cozy and well maintained, but it is small, and the outdoor space effectively doubles your space. We played out there, ate meals, and hung out every night with the stringed patio lights and firepit. The fact that it is all enclosed was also a big win with a mischievous 2-year-old walking around. The outdoor shower is awesome for beach days.
Highly recommend if you're looking for a quaint respite close to Pacific Beach!
