Annual Christmas Get Together in San Diego Needing Another Dwelling
I would label this property welcoming, cozy, and better than I expected. My husband, myself, my daughter’s family of four, and my dog stayed there for a week. My other two sons and daughter-in-law lived less than a mile away, so it was convenient for them to come and visit. The neighborhood was quiet and very safe, safe enough to take walks after dark. The house was very child friendly; we could close doors and section off the family room from the kitchen and the hallway leading to the bedrooms. What we really loved was the enclosed backroom/porch that led out to the backyard. This room was wonderful for setting up toys for the grandkids to play with and we could play with them, talk, and enjoy ourselves. The backyard was set up where we could eat many meals. The bedrooms were nicely sized. The house host was very cordial to communicate with; she answered any questions very promptly. To summarize, this was the first time we ever rented a vacation home, and we definitely made the right choice for our needs.
