Janet & Scott's place is in a great location, was very clean, and had everything we needed (stocked kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, etc.) for our family of four. We were surprised how close everything was! The beach to the bay is right outside the door and was the perfect place to relax and the more crowded ocean beach is right across the street. Just about everything we needed was a short walk away: coffee shop, taco stand, small market, and liquor store. Belmont Park is also an easy walk. If you don't want to eat out all the time, there is a large grocery store (Ralph's) within a 10-minute drive. The only two things to be aware of are an unpleasant odor outside (which we think was from the gas company) and the location is under the outbound flight path from San Diego airport. Neither of those things are in Janet's or Scott's control...everything they did as hosts was great!
