We had an amazing time at Porters beautiful house! The hot tub being broken was definitely disappointing but Porter notified me of this before our stay and also gave me a small refund which I appreciated.
The location is perfect!! You can drive to the beach in less than five minutes but it could also be a lovely bike ride. We had our dog with us and she loved all the outdoor space as well as the dog beach right down the street. There’s also a lot of fun bars within walking distance and the bars/restaurants in Pacific Beach are a short drive away.
The house had everything we needed. We cooked dinner a few nights and the kitchen had all the pots/pans we needed. We used the grill in the back and loved eating outside under the redwood tree. We ended most nights sitting around the fire pit on the deck - so relaxing!
Heads up if you are traveling with a large group of people - the 2nd shower is an outdoor shower that you can access from the downstairs bathroom (so there’s only 1 indoor shower which is located upstairs). We had 6 people in our group and it didn’t bother us much as the outdoor shower is very private and it’s actually really nice showering in the sunshine :)
