The house is great and the backyard is amazing. Our family with two small kids had a great time. Everything looks as advertised. I would inquire about the pool temperature if you stay in the cooler months. The temperatures were in the mid-70s outside when we stayed and the pool was just warm enough to be comfortable, though it did feel cool when the sun was not on the water. Overall this is a great house that is located 10-15 mins from just about everything in the San Diego area and we would be happy to return again.
