This beautifully renovated property is perfect for both short and longer-term stays. My family of 6 were comfortable and happy at this house in the week between Christmas and New Year's. The house is easy to access, with garage or on-street parking. Linens, towels and furnishings are all new and comfortable. It is only a short distance to the beach and pier, where our kids enjoyed playing in the water and watching the surfers. We also really appreciated the beach chairs and towels provided. We made several day trips to Coronado Island, San Diego, La Jolla and other nearby beach destinations. The best part about having access to a full house as comfortable and well apportioned as this one is there are enough rooms for everyone to disappear into in the evenings, after day trips and lots of togetherness :-). The wifi and TV systems also kept everyone happy. Aaron and Kathy Beard are great communicators--they sent emails with important information in a timely fashion, were readily available if there were issues, and checked in with us to make sure we'd found everything we needed. In short, we highly recommend this house!
