This rental really is located in a great place. We were able to walk to many nice cafes and restaurants and two grocery stores. The I-5 is just a 3-4 minute drive so access is great to beaches or downtown. The yard here was roomy and fun for the kids to play on the turf lawn. We were under the impression that this house was not connected to another unit but it does share a wall with another house, although it's difficult to tell because the yard is private. We found the house pretty dirty when we arrived but it sounded like the owner was going to change housekeepers maybe. The place in general is a bit rough around the edges. Missing control stick on the blinds, a missing chain pull to turn on the light and fan in the living room, difficult to open laundry doors, missing barbecue tools, missing smoke detector, and peculiar remote light and fan controls that would occasionally turn on the light while we were asleep all by itself. The owners were receptive to our complaints and hopefully they will give the place a light tuneup.
