We stayed at Carl’s for 4th of July week. We had a great stay. Everything is as pictured. Clean, kitchen well appointed, comfy beds, nice grill, great view. When we arrived the high chair was missing and Carl was so awesome bringing one right away. He was on top of everything! Some tips, these weren’t bad, but you may want to plan ahead.
- No microwave. We heated bottles with hot water. We knew this ahead of time and prepared for it.
- Master bedroom is bright. We saw this ahead of time in reviews so we hung up a dark sheet.
- Washer/dryer works well, but dry cycle takes several hours. If you’re planning on doing a lot of laundry, I would hang dry most items.
- No AC but it was very nice if you opened all the windows all day to keep the house cool. You get a nice ocean breeze.
- The 4th has a lot of fireworks, which we know from the last 20 years of coming. Bring a nice sound machine and you’ll be fine! I recommend “The Hatch” sound machine.
- Our son is almost 2. He loved the rooftop. Some ppl have mentioned kids would be scared on the stairs— he was fine. We brought a water table up there and he loved it. Hours of entertainment!
- 20 minute walk to Belmont. We love walking to the Catamaran instead for a drink and play. We rented jet skis and a pontoon boat. So fun!
- Kayak La Jolla is amazing. We kayaked to the caves & snorkeled! Fun for adults & kids!
As someone who has visited MB for 20 years, Verona is one of the best streets to rent on. Always a great time and the perfect location.
Thanks Carl!
