You cannot beat this location! We spent all day at the beach over the whole weekend and having the house a few steps away made it even better. It's a small place and there is no AC which ended up not being a huge issue since we were barely home. But, you probably wouldn't want to spend lots of time inside the house on a hot day (though there are tons of fans to set up). The sleeper sofa is not very comfortable so it's better for four people than six, unless you have two people who are flexible about that. Not all of the beach gear was in good repair so you if you have to have working chairs or you are big into beach games, you should plan to get your own. All in all, if you are looking for a home base while you spend a lot of time at the beach (or out and about in San Diego) this is a great place. I hope we will be back!
