We visited this house as a "girlfriends" trip to San Diego to celebrate a newly published book. This is a lovely home. We loved the heated pool and hot tub, and the view of city lights and the airport. It was spacious and appeared clean. We were able to park in the garage which was also nice. There is a big-screen TV in just about every room in the house including the kitchen and cabana and patio. It made me feel like this house would be good for a bachelor party. Or a group of guy friends watching many sporting events on multiple televisions.
The main reasons I cannot give this property 5 stars is we felt like it was misrepresented. We rented it because it had 3 bedrooms with 3 beds. But the house really only had 2. The third bedroom is a game room with a couch bed. Which would be okay except you have to move other furniture to get to the couch to pull it into a bed, only to discover that the mattress is only a couple inches thick and it would be better to sleep on the couch as a couch. Except the couch isn't long enough and has two sides on the ends so you can't stretch out. This couch would be great for kids, like maybe a ten-year old, but not a group of older ladies. When we tried to move the heavy furniture, we found a sticky substance on the underside of the coffee table which added to the disappointment.
The other main thing we didn't like was finding two cockroaches in the bedroom closest to the pool. It was late at night when we got back from the book release party and we saw them when we turned on the light.
We wanted to hand wash some dishes but there weren't any dishtowels anywhere in the kitchen.
