My biggest reasons for choosing this house were the location -- which was excellent -- and the air conditioning, because we were going to be in San Diego in late July. As it turns out, this was a good decision as the air conditioning was absolutely needed in the 90+ degree heat, and worked fine.
This house is not a new house. It has the issues you would expect with an older house: very few grounded outlets, the occasional clogged toilet (never overflowed, easily fixed with a plunger), no dishwasher.
But what sets this property apart is how well stocked and decorated this house is and the meticulous attention to detail. Even at the Four Season I've never seen such attentive customer service in how the house was laid out and stocked. Just a few examples: we decided to go to the beach on a whim. In the garage we found beach chairs, a beach umbrella and a beach bucket and spade for our on to play with. When I went out to grill some marinaded meat (from the excellent Mexican market recommended in one of the information binders) I found that under the cover was a scrupulously clean grill, lined with aluminum foil, with a clean towel and grill brush on the side table. When I realized I'd forgotten butter for the kid's toast -- no problem, there was butter in the fridge!
So if you are looking for a place to vacation with kids or visit with family that is almost like being at home I would highly recommend this property. It was absolutely as advertised and full of pleasant surprises.
