This place was perfect for our family of 4. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants while being only 15-20 minutes away by car from downtown. We appreciated the use of the boogie boards and took full advantage of the great beach. At night the scene by the beach wasn't as kid friendly but it was a 5 minute drive to many fantastic family friendly venues and 20 minutes to Sea World, La Jolla Cove and the San Diego Zoo. We loved the location, privacy, friendliness of the owners!
