Beverly is a great hostess. She checks in via email to make sure everything is going well and quickly responds to any questions. We have stayed at her house 2 times, once inFebruary and once in July and love it! She provides all amenities including bathroom essentials, laundry detergent, kitchen essentials as well as coffee, oatmeal and condiments. A big plus are the beach equipment; everything except a surfboard, but plenty of boogie boards, toys, umbrellas, bags, chairs, and towels. The gas grill came in handy for July 4th and one of the 3 balconies was perfectly situated to observe fireworks from the pier, downtown Mission Valley, La Jolla and Sea World. The house is on the beach, which was perfect for my husband, my 7 year old and I. The beach has a grassy area, grills, lifeguards and bathrooms as well. It was peaceful and quiet, even though it was a holiday in July. Yet, if you like the night life or want to grab a bite at a restaurant, the house is only 3 blocks from everything; bars, restaurants, shops, supermarket and pharmacy. Driving, though crowded with traffic, was easy especially since the house has a garage. It took us 1 1/2 hours to Disney, about 20 minutes to La Jolla, 10 minutes to get to Sea World and 15 minutes to downtown Mission Valley when there wasn't traffic. We definitely look forward to staying at Beverly's place a third time any time of year.
