This place is just as nice as it looks in the pictures! If you are looking for a more relaxed place with a few less people then this would fit your needs. It is worth mentioning that you will have to drive to get to most shops and restaurants. This was not an issue for us as we were purposefully looking for a more quiet place- away from bars and nightlife. We had fun watching the surfers right out the window and enjoyed walks on the beach. Great place to stay in San Diego!
