We rented Stu's place for a month and had a great stay. The place has everything you'd need and while we never got into the hot tub, I'm sure it would have been fun. The backyard is a great size and our kids enjoyed playing in it and on the trampoline. It's one of those places where the actual house looks nicer than the pictures, which is not common in our experience. It's also fairly close to enough shopping (Safeway, Walgreen's & Joseph George's, a really good wine shop that specializes in high-end CA wine and actually stocks Praeger port) that you can walk to stuff which is always nice.
We also rented the casita for part of our stay and that is also a nice set-up as well.
