We stayed here for a week with two children, ages 9 and 12. The kitchen had a well-functioning gas stove, excellent oven and clean, spacious fridge. We cooked and used the outdoor grill and space heaters a lot. As mentioned in Karen's ad, two of the propane tanks were empty when we arrived. We found that the nearby Ace Hardware was a convenient place to get new tanks. We all liked the fanciful design of the house and the plentiful patio space. Wifi with a large tv in the living room was great for a family movie night. We found the house was a 10 minute drive from the Whole Foods in La Jolla and 15 minutes to beaches in La Jolla or Del Mar, and less than 30 minutes to Sea World and the Zoo. Couldn't have been happier with the location and this was truly a fun place to stay.
