We LOVED our time at Casa De Vera. As for Michelle, she was super attentive and responsive. It was easy to check in and out. Great experience. The house was so clean and stylish and really felt like a home away from home. We spent 8 nights in June and wished we could have stayed longer. It is a quick 5 min walk to Windansea beach and the house comes stocked with beach equipment, chairs and more...My husband and sons surfed everyday and I got a lot of relaxing beach time in. The house also comes with a basketball hoop in the driveway which was great for my teenage son who loved to shoot some hoops. The kitchen had a roomy walk in pantry with every kitchen gadget you could think of... rice cooker and I think I recall seeing an instapot and other devices. The outdoor patio area is really quaint and a great place to have your morning coffee or a cocktail at happy hour with the twinkling lights above. The beds are super comfy and plenty of extra blankets and pillows in all of the big walk-in closets... All the linens/pillows/bedding looked new and smelled clean. One of the greatest highlights of the house for us was the amazing jacuzzi bathtub. A great way to unwind after an already relaxing beach day!
A couple things to note... we were a little apprehensive about there not being A/C however there are ceiling fans in some of the rooms and the ever present ocean air that always keeps the house cool. Most beach houses don't have A/C. The other thing we learned is that La Jolla has a lot of alleyways... This home is off an alleyway. Not a big deal and we actually enjoyed not having cars or traffic all around us but good to know the driveways are off the alleyway and not the big main street.
We felt completely safe and secure in this home and I truly feel it is our new home away from home vacation spot. The house just has a really happy feel to it and we can't say enough about how much we loved it. We are already thinking about booking again in September. Thanks Michelle!
