What a home ... and what a VIEW! This suite was everything we hoped for, and more. This elegant, spacious, and beautifully appointed home (with incredible artwork) sits right on the Pacific Ocean on a cliff. I loved the private patio with magnificent views (and the sound of the crashing waves 24/7). It was exciting to wake up, step outside, and see surfers and kayakers in our back yard. There is no air conditioning, but you can open low windows with screens for ventilation and also a sliding screen door which allows for a nice ocean breeze in the room. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable, and the room had plenty of space with a nice sitting area (small sofa and two chairs near the large flat screen TV). There is a small sleeping space off the master bathroom that offers a full size bed (it may be a pull out, or a platform bed ... it was already made up when we arrived, had a mattress topper, and was very comfy). This small sleeping area has no door or privacy screen, so whoever wakes up first to use the bathroom, shower, or make coffee will likely awaken the person sleeping in there (FYI). The shower area is large and very open (surrounded in glass), so we needed to alert each other that we were showering to ensure privacy, but that really wasn't a problem. Kate's suite was the perfect place for my teenage sons and me, as most places we considered had only queen beds or a queen and a pullout (so the king bed was a real treasure). Next door is a small neighborhood park (Calumet Park) where people bring their dogs to play, and to watch the sunset. The neighbors are very friendly. At the end of the street, about a half mile away, there is access to the beach with steep stairs down to the ocean. Just a short walk across the rocks (best to do at low tide) will lead you to Pacific Beach, where you can watch more surfers day and night. Kate's home is just 10-12 minutes from La Jolla Village and the key local sights (La Jolla Cove/Shores, the caves, the Children's Pool, Mt. Soledad). There is an awesome Farmer's Market in La Jolla village every Sunday from 9-2. The home is only a 25 minute drive to anything you'd like to do in San Diego, from the Zoo and Balboa Park, to the USS Midway Museum, to a day in Coronado. It's a two block walk to the shops in Bird Rock (great Mexican food, local coffee shops, wine bar, Starbucks, CVS, and a wonderful local restaurant, Beaumont's). We had no intention of cooking, but thoroughly enjoyed the wet bar with Nespresso Coffee maker (with complimentary coffee pods), the mini fridge/freezer, microwave, and icemaker. There is a full laundry room just outside the door to the suite, which is available for guests to use, as well. Kate is elegant, delightful,...
