This is an excellent house for an extended stay with a family. The owner is very communicative and responded within 10-15 minutes. Initial access was a breeze. The owner emailed us entry instructions a day or two ahead of time.
The heated pool was excellent as the weather was cold for San Diego standards. At the deepest it is less than 5 feet and is small enough that the walls are a one breath swim away! However, it was large enough to bring some dive toys and have 4 kids enjoy swimming without bumping into each other. Our kids, all under 9 years old, enjoyed the pool immensely! Plenty of living space indoors for when it did rain.
There are plenty of showers/bathtubs and hot water for most of our group to shower at the same time. Plenty of towels as well. We only found 4 washcloths though.
The kitchen is huge. A few appliances' displays were broken, so it was difficult to see what exactly the dishwasher setting was or how long food was in the microwave, but overall not an inconvenience.
The washer and dryer are big enough to keep up with 4 messy kids.
Restaurants are a 2 block walk. Beach is a 5-10 minute walk. Grocery store is a 1 block walk.
One tip that we wish we would have known before arriving, the closet in the master bedroom is VERY big and large enough to fit a crib/pack and play. For any family with an infant, this may be a good option!
Overall, it is a fantastic house and a bit better than advertised. We were very pleased with our stay.
