Tony is hands down the nicest Airbnb host I have ever encountered in all my years of traveling and staying at Airbnbs. He let us check in early (even cancelling a prior appointment to accommodate us), prepared some extra stuff for our stay, and then stopped by to say hi with a tray of snacks, beer and wine!! Oh and he even bought us fresh Panera cookies for breakfast one day!! We are so grateful for the hospitality! The location is great, right by the beach and close driving distance to so many places. Also really appreciate the parking in front of the house so we didn’t need to find street parking. It was very quiet at night and we had all windows opened. They have everything prepared, from board games, beach towels, beach bag, beach chairs, sand toys and even a giant canopy for the guests to use! We went with our 10 month and 3 year old and they had a pack and play and baby tub too. Very impressed with the amount of things they prepared for their guests!
A few things to mention is there is no AC, which isn’t a big issue during regular San Diego weather but we encountered a heat wave when we went and it was very hot. Also had an issue with one of the beds. There are two bedrooms, one of the bed mattress was amazing, but the other one wasn’t so great - very soft and squeaky whenever you moved. The kitchen and washroom can use a bit of a refresh or update too.
Overall very happy with our stay and Tony definitely made us feel very welcomed on our first visit to San Diego!
