Our trip at this location was terrific from start to finish. You just can’t beat the location—20 minutes or less to airport, about 15 minutes to the zoo, 40-45 minutes to the Safari Park, walking distance to Belmont Park and a nice playground, and the beach at your doorstep. There are lots of great and family-friendly restaurants nearby to walk or drive to, and delivery is easy. The parking is perfect—you get an assigned spot at the door that is big enough for a large-ish SUV, a rarity in the area.
The house itself is the perfect size for a family of 4. All of the beds were very comfortable, and the bedding was cozy for snuggling down and watching one of the 2 huge TVs or reading a book. The deck is large and has great views of the Pacific and the waterway between the ocean and the bay. You can also watch volleyball games taking place nearby on the public courts. There is a great boardwalk for morning walks up to Belmont Park or Starbucks for a cup of fancy coffee. Beach toys and towels are provided.
My only suggestion would be some additional seating in the living area. We solved the problem by bringing out the chair from the master bedroom. There is only room for three to sit together inside for family meals, but in warm weather, the deck table has plenty of seating for meals. We also used the grill, which was great for easy cleanup.
Management was super-responsive, and the check-in and check-out couldn’t be easier. They even reached out by email just after our arrival to see if there was anything we needed. I highly recommend it!
