We had a wonderful time at Jena's place in San Diego. Close enough to the beach and activities and cozy for our family. We are a family of 4 with 2 small kids and traveled with another couple (6 people total). A couple things to note:
No where in any of the details, photos or reservation information does it say this is a 2nd story home, above a business (and I didn't think to ask). It worked out ok and we still had a great time, but unloading and loading our car was intense with all our stuff. We also have 2 children, (3.5 & 1) so getting them in and out of the house with our stroller and wagon was much more difficult especially when they fell asleep on the walk home from the beach and we didn't want to wake them to carry them upstairs. We hope our kids running around wasn't too loud for the business/customers below.
The bedrooms were good for our needs, the attached room to the master is the perfect place for a baby/toddler - there is a pack n play (so we could've left ours at home) to sleep in along with the provided beach supplies (2 chairs, standing umbrella, boogie board, 4 beach towels). The 1 bathroom was very roomy for our family of four to get ready/cleaned up from the beach. The kitchen is adequate, my SIL and I handled all the cooking as there wasn't much room for others, there was plenty of room in the fridge for our cooler of supplies we brought. We were happy to find foil and plastic utensils for the beach which we forgot to pack. Parking is limited right on Cass street (2 hours max daily between 8am-6pm) but we were able to park there when we arrived and unloaded as well as when we checked out. My husband & BIL were able to find parking on a side street that is all day parking so we didn't have to move our cars again till we checked out - we walked everywhere else. Restaurants, shops, and the beach are all close enough and manageable with the stroller and wagon.
Overall we had a great vacation and were sad to leave!
