location, location, location. Five minutes walk to the La Jolla shores beach this beach house has a great location. We enjoyed walking to the beach for a swim, or kayak. sunsets at the beach are fantastic.
Check in was easy and good. We had some issues with the property when we arrived - the cleaner had left a note and some air freshener apologising for the bad smell. It smelt like rotted fish and the whole house was tainted. it got worse overnight. One of our party was vegetarian so it wasnt good. It seemed to come from the fridge area. The BBQ wouldnt ignite and we had no dish cloths so the property managers promptly attended the next day and the deodorisers did help to reduce the smell. The third bedroom is a garage divided in half with the adjoining property.
The curtains in the main bedroom didnt cover the window. The outdoor area is great but you have to go through the bedrooms to get to the rear outdoor area.
We almost left the property cleaner than when we arrived. The bathroom was especially dirty when we arrived with dirt and grime. When we arrived we couldnt walk around barefoot as our feet got so filthy from the grimy floors.
The lounge area was fantastic and received great sun.
We returned back to the house one afternoon to find the gate unlocked and a couple of gardeners doing the lawns, weeding, trimming and working around the house. We werent happy. This should be done between bookings. No-one had advised the gardeners were coming. They woke up one of our family members who was sleeping and had been in hospital for a heart condition. we also had a photographer turn up on our second day to take photos of the inside of the property and we advised them we had our own belongings so it wasnt ok. This needs to be done between bookings.
But you cant fault the location. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable but creaked. The single beds in the other rooms were too small for our adult daughter and son.
