The location is great for beach access. If you just want a place to hang out and go to the local beach it is a great location. Overall it was a good place to stay for our large family but would probably not choose to stay there again. There is a lot (to us) of airplane traffic noise as flights appear to be routed directly over the neighborhood from the San Diego airport.
As mentioned the best feature was the location. The beach is a very short walk away and there are shops and restaurants within reasonable walking distance. The internet/wifi worked well, as did the the DirecTV and wall mounted TV. The rooms and beds were all comfortable. The master on the top floor is roomy but does not have a private bathroom. Rooms on 2nd and 3rd floor share a bathroom on the 2nd (and 1st) floor. Cottage in back does has its own bathroom. However, back door doesn't have a code activated lock, so anyone in the cottage cannot come in a locked back door. They can go around to the front. To us, it definitely has the feel of someone's regular house as there were a few things (like loose plumbing fixtures, sticking windows, etc.) that kept it from being a first rate rental. You will also be asked to do more cleaning and trash removal than any other place I've stayed, which doesn't go well with the required fees.
