There were 9 of us to celebrate my Mom’s 90th birthday. The place was perfect being so close to the airport and the beach. We had had tickets to the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach which was not too far down the Pacific Coast Highway. A big plus for each of the couples was to have their own room upstairs and my Mom having her own room downstairs, all with King or Queen beds. We ate most of our meals at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed. The air hockey table was nice to have. There were also books, games and puzzles, but we ended up not having time to take advantage of this.
Some issues that we came across during our stay which would be helpful to address for future guests:
(1) end bedroom shower door adjustment needed
(2) Primary bedroom lights over bed did not work
(3) Stove ignitors clicking on burners _not_ in use if using any others
(4) ice maker had constant jamming
(5) no lock on downstairs bathroom
(6) wifi spotty both downstairs and upstairs
(7) Understood no air conditioning downstairs. Was a bit uncomfortable with doors open. With the fans going it was hard to hear others talk.
I had asked ahead of time if there were beach chairs and umbrellas available to borrow, and was told that the property had none and these needed to be rented. We realized later that beach equipment and towels were available which we borrowed.
All in all, our experience was wonderful. Property manager was responsive with any questions we had during our stay.
