Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) had a wonderful stay. The loft area is quite spacious and the outdoor area with fire pit is great for enjoying the perfect San Diego weather. We were dropping our daughter off at UCSD for her first year and the casita was close to everything - campus, IKEA, Target , beaches and restaurants. Parking was easy and there were loss of amenities like beach chairs, bikes, etc. Rich and Kristi were very accessible and helpful. We had a wonderful time!
