I think my favorite part about this house might have been the lemon tree in the backyard. We live on the east coast so it was a total treat. Sharon told us it was ok to pick them and there's something so special about a fresh picked lemon in some water or on the edge of a drink. We stayed in April with our 3 kids (ages 14, 12 and 9). Everyone loved the house. The beds were comfortable, the house manual was detailed and covered everything- including how to work the locks and fire pit. It's 2 blocks from the bay side which has a lovely sidewalk for early morning runs by the water or a walk for a beautiful sunset in the evening. The neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. It's definitely a little oasis in San Diego.
