The best part of this place reveals itself the moment you step into the backyard. While San Diego's famous for its beaches, you'll find yourself spending evenings right here—soaking in the heated stock tank pool as the sun goes down, fire pit going, cold drink in hand. When you're not at the Zoo or Balboa Park (both 10 minutes away), the retro arcade and ping-pong table keep everyone entertained, and the chef's kitchen makes it easy to cook instead of spending a fortune dining out every night. This is the kind of place where you actually relax on vacation.
