Still brings back great memories!
Review Submitted: July 11, 2009
Date of Stay: February 2009
Our group of 6 stayed at this beautiful bayfront home in February 2009 for 5 nights. We had done a lot of research to find the perfect rental house, and it paid off: the house was ideally located as we visited SeaWorld, LegoLand, the zoo, Coronado, Old Town, Mission Valley, Pacific Beach and several other destinations. Noel & Linda's book of maps and directions was very handy, and we appreciated that we had off-street parking for our two (small) rental cars.
The house was clean upon arrival and we loved the layout - especially that each of the kids had their own bedroom, and we enjoyed sitting on the balconies, watching roller-bladers and joggers on the boardwalk below. We used the grill, played with the beach toys, and took the bikes out for a spin on the boardwalk.
Noel greeted us when we got to the house and later delivered an apple pie. He provided good customer service, calling us upon our arrival at the airport and later sending his handyman to the house when we discovered there was no working smoke detector upstairs (a safety concern since one of the kids was sleeping in the upstairs bedroom). We noticed during our stay that the house could stand a little maintenance - the toilet in the master bathroom didn't flush well, the light in the laundry room flickered like it had bad wiring, there were a few ants in the kitchen, and the oven took an eon to heat up for pizza - but these were minor issues that did not detract from our overall experience.
We would definitely recommend Noel and Linda's house "on the riviera", and we hope to return soon!
