We had a great stay here. Location is amazing, close to beaches, great food, marinas with easy access to Balboa Park, Little Italy, etc. It was nice to stay in this cute neighborhood, rather than in a hotel near touristy downtown. You should definitely rent a car as SD is fairly spread out and parking at the house was super easy. The beach chairs, towels, and umbrella were MUCH appreciated and allowed us to have a really comfortable beach day. The kitchenette was perfect and we ended up using it way more than I thought we would because it was so nicely appointed. The deck was a great feature with a really amazing view. We loved sitting outside for morning coffee and afternoon happy hour. One thing to note is that the main area of the house is a full time residence and that there are children visiting at times. Kids being normal kids, the backyard was pretty noisy on our first evening which made it difficult to enjoy the deck at that time. However, other than that night, it was very quiet/private and we really loved the deck. Danielle is a super responsive host. The beach chairs were missing when we arrived and after sending a quick message to Danielle, the chairs were already on the porch waiting for us when we arrived back to the house. Also this is place is sparkling clean. We would definitely recommend this place to others.
