We traveled to California for a pre-baby/anniversary/birthday getaway so we decided to splurge on where we stayed for our trip. This is by far the nicest Vrbo we've ever stayed at. We had 2 families all together - 4 adults and 3 kids under 3 years old. The set up of the bedrooms worked perfectly for us to keep our families on separate levels. It was great to have the master and the bunk beds on one floor and the 2 rooms with queen beds on the main level. The host was so accommodating when I talked to her about traveling with little ones and had a pack n play and high chair there for us to use. The home itself is stunning, well furnished and stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook as we ate most of our meals at the property. We paid to have the pool heated and were very glad we did since it was only about 60 degrees the whole time we were there. Everyone loved using the pool and the hot tub since it wasn't great weather to go to the beach most of the days. There were some pools toys for the kids, plenty of towels and outdoor seating/amenities.
The house does have multiple levels, which means lots of stairs, so anyone traveling should be mindful of that. It was super close to coffee shops, tons of yummy restaurants and a quick drive to the San Diego zoo.
The only other feedback I have is the pricing- I wish more of the costs were just built into the nightly rate. (Ie: charge for heating/Ac, pool, housekeeping, damage insurance, etc) it starts to get hard to compare places/prices when the nightly rate says one thing and then there are multiple "add on's" that aren't really optional. To have more just reflected in the price would feel more transparent.
All in all, this place was everything we wanted- beautiful, clean, great location to beach, stores, restaurants, tourist attractions, heated pool/jacuzzi and an incredibly attentive and helpful host. We would definitely return the next time we are in the area.
