My husband and I with our 4 kids ranging in age from 7 months to 9 years old enjoyed a fun-filled week here! The house is just a couple blocks to the beach - walking distance, and also very close to a couple of casual restaurants, Starbucks, a Cafe/market, & gas station. It is also only about 7 minutes to a very nice area of La Jolla Shores with many nice restaurants, shops, a grocery store, and the famous La Jolla cove sea lions. It's no more than 15-20 minutes to many of the fun sites around San Diego, and we found it to be all in all a great location & home base.
The large beach down the street has lifeguards and restrooms, good surfing waves, good boogie boarding waves, but also great shallow waves our kids loved to jump and wade in for hours.
The home was outfitted with most everything we needed for the beach - towels, buckets/play things, chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, and a couple of boogie boards. The only other thing that would have been great would be a beach wagon.
Everything was as described in the listing. Clean. The kitchen had all of the basic necessities. The beds were soft. The water pressure was great and never short of hot water. There is no a/c but we didn't need it.
The home is located just off a fairly busy street or main thoroughfare through that neighborhood and was noisy at night. We brought sound machines for the kids, so they were not bothered by it.
We would recommend this area and this unit and would readily stay there again!
