A slice of paradise! This spot was a spectacular home away from home. Marie and Charles could not have been more welcoming, helpful or generous with their time. Over the course of nearly a week, I felt like we became good friends! They are kind and love getting to know new people.

The room and deck with hot tub are very private but when I felt like company, I had great conversations with my hosts when they offered me tea, coffee, beer and appetizers after coming back from the beach. We also went on a bike ride together along the sunset cliffs, which was breathtaking.

Marie and Charles made great restaurant recommendations- not to be missed, including the OB Noodle House (try the garlic wings!), the bo-beau restaurant (try the brussel sprouts with pancetta!) and the Tiki port (try the pitaya and acai bowls for breakfast on the beach, delicious!).

The neighborhood is also a real gem. The house is two blocks away from an adorable and well-stocked food co-op, a ten minute walk to the beach and a half-hour bike ride to Cabrillo national park. I was in San Diego for business, and the bus stopped right in front of the house. Very well-located for those taking public transportation.

In short, you cannot go wrong staying here. A wonderful find- if ever I am back in San Diego, I will know where to stay.
