Upon arriving at Marta's House we noticed that the driveway was a little small for our truck. Be prepared to park on the street or on the side of the house.
The interior has a cottage-like charm to it. The two spacious bedrooms are separated by, what looks to be a newly renovated bathroom. We have a 4 year old who has been introduced to showers, so giving him a quick bath was manageable. Towels (bath and beach!) are provided which is a huge plus.
We loved that the basic appliances were provided: toaster, new dishwasher, an air fryer, and drip coffee maker. There's an abundance of plates, cups, and utensils that we utilized as well. After reading Marta's manual, it was brought up that there was a skillet in the kitchen that was highly recommended for making bacon and eggs. We're happy to say that the skillet worked as stated - absolutely loved the vintage uniqueness to it.
The home has been loved. It's apparent when walking through the living room and playroom. Antique lamps, mirrors, clocks and old photos of Marta and her family tie the cozy cottage feel together.
The view of the canyon from the backyard is breathtaking. There is turf in the back to lounge on. We spent a lot of time kicking a little soccer ball around back there.
There's also a washer and dryer provided. Easy to use.
We decided on Marta's House due to it's proximity to everything nearby. A few minutes to Balboa Park/SD Zoo, 15-20 minutes to the Midway, and around 30 minutes up into Carlsbad.
We enjoyed our time in Marta's home.
