Well the location and view are wonderful. Kathleen has all the amenities to enjoy the beach. Place was perfect size for me and my 10yr old son. At first finding the garage was a bit tricky because the studio is behind the first building and u have to drive around the back of the street to get to the garage. After finding it no problem.
The studio was very nice however, the sleeper couch is not the same leather couch in the description- it’s more of a aqua blue fabric (and smaller in size) which had crumbs or whatever from the last guests I’m assuming. The ottoman from the picture was the leather piece that matched the photo- but it too needed to be cleaned off. Since I have family locally my sister brought over an extra sheet and we used a sheet from the studio to cover the couch and it was fine after that. The bathroom towels were very dingy and old- needed to be replaced. I told Kathleen this and she immediately apologized and refunded a portion of our stay. I went to target and bought just a few towels for us to use for the rest of our stay. Also, after that incident she came by to check on us(but didn’t call) and I was taking a nap and woke up and she was outside the front door. A call or message to let me know she was going to pop by would have been nice. I showed her the areas of concern and chatted with her a bit.
Overall nice stay, would definitely stay again(would just know to be prepared) and we tried to add another day because the time went by so fast but she was already booked up. Like I said everything else was great. Nice area and friendly neighbors. Weather was perfect. We rented a car for the week to visit family and the San Diego Wild Animal Park and really appreciated the much needed “Covid” break! Thanks Kathleen!!!
