We picked this particular house because it had a pool for our kids. The price was about double that of a comparable quality place without a pool, but we decided the private pool was worth the splurge. The place is cute, on a corner lot with a nice backyard space. Convenient location to the beach, the freeway and shopping. Overall the house is more shabby than chic, at least from what I was expecting based on the price and pictures. The queen bunk in the kids room was a hit with the kiddos :)
