Our family of 6 adults and 2 kids stayed at Tina’s place for 4 nights. For such a large group, it was quite roomy, with enough beds for all of us, multiple hang out areas indoors and outdoors, and plenty of space to all eat in the kitchen.
The best part of the house is that it is walking distance to the beach (about 4 blocks), and there were lots of beach items available, plus a wagon to pack it all. It’s also walking distance to shops and restaurants, and a quick drive to Sea World.
For this part of San Diego, the cost may have been reasonable, but it felt a bit high for some of the host expectations, like washing and drying all the beach towels and throw blankets before check out and a long list of rules for guests upon arrival.
We didn’t realize during booking, but there is a separate studio above the front part of the house. While we couldn’t hear voices, people walking above sounded like they were stomping, which made it difficult to sleep a couple of nights in the downstairs rooms. Upstairs rooms were very comfortable, and as long as the windows were closed, quite quiet.
Parking in the area is a little annoying, but that’s the case anywhere near the beach. We had 3 cars, and 90% of the time we found parking on the same street where we were staying. The street the house is on does not have street lights so make sure to carry a flashlight at night.
Overall, we had an enjoyable time.
