The location and view were amazing. I can’t wait to come back and stay again and breathe that sea air and watch the sunset from those sliders!
We enjoyed being in walking distance of shops and restaurants (loved the ceviche at Oscar’s Mexican Seafood especially) and just beach beach beach time (so many toys for the kids and plentiful beach chairs and boogie boards — all you could want in that way). Also we rented a car so it wasn’t hard to get to the aquarium and La Jolla Cove and downtown. And then cozy up with the sound of the waves at the end of the day.
To address some concerns from other reviews: The no AC thing wasn’t a problem at this time of year for us (October). And there are extra towels, just make sure you look in both closets. Bring your own soap for the shower. There’s a Ralph’s around the corner for that kind of thing too. Matthew was very responsive to questions.
There were enough supplies in the kitchen for us to grocery shop and cook breakfast etc. Coffee shops are a-plenty, too. Check in / check out were easy. We were also able to check in early which was so helpful, since we were coming from a cruise that morning and looking forward to downtime.
We found the bonfires on the beach at night to be an especially lovely sight (and scent) in combo with the sea. We didn’t even bother with the pool because the beach was so wonderful. Perfect getaway.
