Andy’s place was a wonderful surprise for weary travelers. Coming into the area for the first time, we passed several dated beach hotels and crowded streets and thought perhaps we picked the wrong neighborhood to relax in. However, Andy’s location right on the ocean and the view absolutely cannot be beat. We drove all along the coast and felt certain we couldn’t do any better for location. It ended up being so convenient to La Jolla, the zoo, Torrey Pines, and all the places we explored.
The Capri by the Sea facility (Andy is on the 8th floor) had great off-street parking and ample security. The building is in an excellent location for walking alongside the beach and to dining/shopping and a pier a few blocks down. It was close but far enough removed to be quiet and restful as well. We walked everywhere we wanted with no problems.
Regarding the unit itself, it was very clean, high quality, and full of special touches. Bedside charging ports for your devices (there is one cable available, but bring your own, too!), binoculars for dolphin viewing, beach towels & chairs, every kitchen amenity plus more. We enjoyed the “mood lighting” and playing music throughout the rooms with the speaker system. The bedding and towels were great quality and ample in supply. The bed had a soft memory foam top and down pillows and was very comfortable. Large rain shower with great pressure, massage chair...Andy has truly created a little haven to return to in between sight seeing!
