The place was great. No problems checking in and checking out, and in between my boys and I had a great time. The only real negative was we realized the hard way that more than 2 hot showers have to be split apart by at least an hour, because showers #3 and 4 were cold. But otherwise there were no issues with the house, which is cozy yet spacious and charming.
If you are a young family who likes amusement park atmosphere, this is the place for you. The location is basically on top of the boardwalk and next to Belmont Park. There is so much fun that is walkable that we changed some of our plans just to take advantage of the amazing location.
Hank and Julie are wonderful hosts. Very communicative and friendly, and most of all accommodating. I asked for local tips and they responded with some real winners. It makes such a difference when hosts are as involved as Hank and Julie.
If we get the chance to vacation in San Diego again, I would call on Hank and Julie without hesitation.
