The house is cozy and enjoyable. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and the outdoor patio with its incredible views of San Diego and the ocean in the distance. It wasn't a far walk to the beach or the pier. The house sits atop of a large hill so walking up and down from there was a trek but one which I enjoyed, might be a tough walk for some. The house was great and as described. The only negative is the stairway down to the third bedroom is very tight and steep. This may present a challenge for some folks. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much. Carl & Vicki were great and accommodating hosts. The house is very clean and nice inside and out.
