You've seen the pictures and the video and none of them do the house justice. It's even better in person than the pics. The kitchen is huge and extremely well stocked. If you like to cook, you'll enjoy the Thermador appliances and giant island. The island seemed to always be our daily gathering place!
The house itself could be your vacation as it's well laid out, has nice common spaces for gathering indoors and outdoors, but also has plenty of places for people to retire to. That said, it's close to the Pacific Beach, to La Jolla, and to many grocery stores and restaurants. The beach would be a pretty long walk if you're hauling chairs, coolers, etc. It's only a 5 minute drive but might take another 5-10 to find a place to park. Uber and Lyft are also easy to come by.
As others have mentioned, the property manager did a good job at walking us through the place on our arrival to make sure that we understood the lay of the land. He also left his cell phone and told us to treat him like "your buddy who lives in the town you're vacationing in". Excellent customer service.
We paid a little extra to get a house with great reviews and it was worth every penny. The only thing wrong with it is that we had to leave it :). I hope that the next tenants enjoy it as much as we did!
