The location of the home couldn’t have been better only 1 block from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. We brought buckets & shovels from the house and our kids loved to play in the sand. We also took walks along the beach where there was a paved walking trail. We explored all greater San Diego and it never took us more than 15-20 minutes to get anywhere, the house is very centrally located. Whenever we had questions Janet & Scott were super responsive. While there are toys and books for kids, they are geared towards younger toddlers/babies. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the space worked well for our family.
