This home was truly wonderful! The touches were thoughtful and it felt like a beach house. The views were spectacular (on a clear day :)) Judi was very welcoming. Even though this is a shared space, no one was home and the other room was not rented while we stayed, so having the place to ourselves was just a plus!
We did received an upgrade to our room which had a view of the ocean and a private bathroom. Everything was clean and comfortable! So much so, we did not want to leave and luckily we were able to extend our stay by another night. They were very accommodating. Overall, the bedding was nice and the bed was comfortable. Everything smelled so clean. We enjoyed returning “home” from a long day to a hot shower and a comfy bed.
Here are a few pluses:
-Laundry!! We were so lucky to have laundry and detergent available to us. After long days out at the beach, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing, having a place to wash our clothes was great! I didn’t have to pack up our sandy and smelly wet clothes to take home to wash. A simple load took care of everything including taking away the stress of going home with dirty clothes. I was able to relax after my mini getaway when I went home with something as simple as having the laundry done.
-Kitchen and living room access:
This was also wonderful. We didn’t cook but we did prepare food and it made it easy to do so. Having a fridge for our perishable items was a great plus! We could relax at night, eat, and watch Netflix to wind down on a comfy couch :)
-Fans:
I usually book places that have AC only as I get so hot! But this place stays cool with the windows and fans. At night we would open the windows and turn on the fan (which many are available if needed). There aren’t screens on the windows so you just have to be careful not to have the lights on at night otherwise little flies come into the room (just a few not many). But we just turned off the lights, opened the window a crack, and placed a fan in the window and it cooled down the room greatly while we slept! And there is zero noise outside. It’s so quiet and calming.
-towels:
They allow you to have access to the linen closet which was great as well. There are bath and beach towels. And we used both!
Power outlets:
There are extended power outlets on either side of the bed with one plug in spot and 2 USB spots. We had multiple things to charge so it worked out great.
Location:
This house was so close to everything we wanted to do this weekend! It was 4-5 minutes from the snorkeling tours, the beach, the kayaking tours, and only 15 minutes from Deep Sea fishing tours out of San Diego. You really can’t go wrong with this location!
Downsides:
-Nothing :)
Thank you again for being wonderful hosts and for all of the touches added to this place to make it feel like a retreat.
