First off I will say the few issues we encountered were addressed and remedied very quicklyI would have preferred a king bed which I knew going in it wasn't but the queen was quite comfortableHost:
Also more flatware and some basic spices would have been niceLocation was amazing So close to the beach and local restaurants along with all the San Diego amenities that we came for (Sea World LEGOLAND and the Zoo)so be sure to bring as many as you needThe garage parking was also very nice with limited parking in that areaGreat vacation home with ocean access Walking distance to Belmont and boardwalk Very clean and all the comforts of homeRead more reviewsLocation:
