We had the best time at Dan's place. The cleaning crew was still there when we got there, but they were warm and welcoming. The house was very spacious, so this did not disturb us while we settled in. I traveled with my mother, grandmother, and 2 kids (ages 5 and 7) for Mother's Day. The location was great for us, we could go the zoo and other places in the busier parts of San Diego, while retreating to the calmer vibe in Del Mar. Close to great food and drink, the beach and walking areas. I was pleasantly surprised with the extra amenities of the house, beach gear + bikes. And as you can see, and as all the reviews state, the views do not disappoint! Out of all the things we did, s'mores on the rooftop at sunset became a very special memory for us. I've always thought SoCal was great to visit, but wouldn't want to live there, however Dan's place could change my mind :)
