The Serenity House was a fabulous base for our trip to San Diego. We brought a family of four and used all of the sleeping spaces. My son said the couch was very comfy.
We were just minutes from everything we wanted to do. Parking was easy--right out front of the house. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. It's on a dead-end road, so there's not a ton of traffic.
As is clearly shown in the pictures and description, there are 27 stairs down to the house. They aren't high steps, so even with feet and knees sore from walking all day, it wasn't too bad. Having the house tucked down from the already-quiet neighborhood made the nights very peaceful.
Kitchen has essentials, including chef's knife and paring knives that actually cut, frying pan, Dutch oven-sized pot, pots, pan, sheet pan, a crock of spatulas and other necessities. Toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle. Plates, bowls, cups, silverware, etc. There are tables and chairs inside and out.
The temperature was very comfortable in the house. The weather was in the 60s and 70s all week. The house was cool enough for good sleep. A fan available when the house had been shut all day.
We made good use of the beach umbrella, beach towels, and cooler (and ice blocks). We didn't use the washer and drier but appreciated their availability. My daughter liked the flower-shaped ice cube trays.
HC was quick to respond to messages. We didn't see him much, as we were out playing as much as we possibly could.
