We loved our 4 day stay at Ian's beach house. Everything was as described in the listing. The neighborhood is clean/safe/quiet. There is a dwelling above, but it is in the back (not above the master bedroom), and we never heard them. Some things that made our stay especially nice: The provided large beach towels, beach umbrella and three large beach chairs allowed us to take our smaller car this trip! The outdoor shower was luxurious after a day at the beach! The den (with large TV and a door) was a nice way to get some alone time from our teenagers. Ian's neighborhood notes were spot on. Here's our local favorites/tips: Law street beach was a little cleaner and less crowded and they have designated areas for surfing vs swimming. Coffee Cycle roasting (2 blocks away) had exceptional coffee and super-friendly service. Pacific Beach Ice Cream Co (3 blocks from Crystal pier) had world-class ice cream and the owner is super nice and clearly loves making people happy one scoop at a time. We made some great memories here and would be delighted to stay in Ian's beach house again.
