This house is conveniently located in a quite neighborhood and provides ample of space. It is dated (and not modern), however. It has basic amenities that you need - bathtub, shower, bathroom, stove, etc., but missing a dishwasher and air conditioner, for example. The refrigerator was a bit small for our needs, but worked like a horse in the heat of 83+ degrees inside. Each room has ceiling fans; however, air conditioning would have made a huge difference.
The house is relatively close to the beach, but, in our opinion, this feature is definitely overhyped for any house that is not on the beach. If you are with kids and need to bring clothes, toys, chairs, etc., you are definitely driving there. Therefore, you can save a significant amount of money and rent a house that is not "close to the beach" or "within walking distance to the beach".
Now, more about the house. As I have mentioned, the house is "dated", but that is no way an excuse to have it in the condition that it is in - it requires a deep, deep, deep (thrice on purpose) and thorough cleaning. There are layers of mold in the bathrooms; dust everywhere - closets, ceiling fans, curtains - it took us a few hours to clean it when we moved in. The management company somewhat brushed off our complaint about it - they either know about it or simply don't care or both. The windows in this house have not been cleaned in a very long time, it seems. They reminded me of the scene from "My Cousin Vinny" :
Vinny Gambini : House and stuff. And what is this brown stuff on your window?
Ernie Crane : Dirt.
Vinny Gambini : Dirt. And what is this rusty, dusty, dirty-looking thing that's covering your window?
Ernie Crane : That's a screen.
While we enjoyed our stay in San Diego and ignored the inconveniences that we found simply because we have paid a significant amount of money for it already, I would not recommend this house for the reasons listed above. I would rate the house with overall rating of 3 stars, but because of the unwillingness of the management company to address our concerns, I am rating the house with 2 stars.
