It is the small but important things that mattered to earn 5 stars. Wooden hangers, tons of towels, well equipped kitchen, iron and ironing board. Plus it was clean. A very quiet neighborhood and an easy walk to the ocean.

Great house close to the beach
Our group of 3 loved our 2 week stay here! The house was cozy and clean, and the grill/patio area was perfect for evening hangouts. The house was also just a 5 minute walk to the beach, so it was easy to go for sunset after work.
The surrounding area is nice and quiet too. I highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for a relaxing San Diego getaway. Check in/out was simple and Laura was immediately responsive to any questions/concerns I had.

Great outdoor space
Stayed here with our adult son. It was very comfortable. They are very open that it does not have a dishwasher, not a problem. Be aware it doesn’t have ac, this was not an issue in September since the weather was nice and cool. The outdoor patio gave us a great space to hang out.

Great location and property
Great house and perfect location! Very quite neighborhood and the location is perfect for access to the beach, Bird Rock, La Jolla and Pacific Beach. We spent so much time in back yard - day and night... great setup. The small detached 'guest house' is perfect for a home office. Only one bathroom and no dishwasher but otherwise, the house was well perfect for our needs. Easy parking and the garage was great for storage (no room for garage parking but space in front). The manager, Laura was very helpful and responsive!
