The idea of renting your house out to complete strangers is a very interesting concept. I had made several attempts to book a house for our annual golf trip for the Farmers Open at Torrey Pines. However, I was rejected with reasons like, "Oh we are going to be in town that week"? or We are doing construction and done know if it will be ready. I'm not sure how the availability works but I'm assuming you figure out your open dates and make them available. The places that rejected my group kept their availability open.
Now to our stay, quick communication, house was clean. Views as advertised. Host has multiple properties but you wouldn't known, he was quick with responses and that was greatly appreciated.
Did I mention the views. One balcony you have the ocean all day long just beautiful, but wait you know the sun sets in the west. Bring a camera. On the south patio you have the city, awesome views.
Thanks again for a great stay!
