What a great location!! A simple walk to El Carmel St to cross the main street, cross the alley for the ocean front side and you are at the ocean! Go through the alley on the bayside of the main street where you are and you get to a paved path for jogging/walking, cycling and the bayside. Harry was responsive about getting checked in and out of the house, otherwise we did not have much to contact him about. If the San Diego weather gets hot like it did for us the place can get warm and there is only a window unit for the master suite on the top floor, which runs well, we just felt guilty are kids were sweating downstairs. The place isn't super little kid friendly, no baby gates so we had to carefully arrange stools to block our 1 year old, we brought our own pack n play for her to sleep and chair for eating. The bunk beds downstairs are nice and the kids books to read were nice. This all being said this was not our choice booking but when a cancellation occurred a month before coming at the place we booked Harry was more than gracious in taking us in and that speaks volumes about him as a person who cares! All the beds were comfortable. The small balcony off the master was pleasant for reading in the evening. Weekends can be a little louder and the house is off the main street through mission beach but north of the more active boardwalk area. All the same we had no problems sleeping after 10pm when we went to bed and the weekdays were relatively quiet after the sun went down. The house is decorated nicely and all the appliances worked just fine. Be aware the oven mits are not the highest quality so double them up if you are cooking something on the baking sheets. The Wifi works well and we were able to stream stuff from Netflix off an older iPad we connected via HDMI ok for the kids to watch.
All in all a great week and we again thank Harry for being a gracious helpful host!
