My husband and I rented this outstanding property for our family of 8 to use the week of January 2, 2012 and we had a fabulous time. The house is beautifully appointed and comfortably accomodated our group of 8 with 4 bedrooms (2 up/2 down) and three full baths (2 up/1 down). The property is even pet friendly with room to roam in the front enclosed courtyard and the fenced backyard (although we decided not to bring our small dog). The description and pictures accurately portray this awesome property. Although the property fronts busy La Jolla Shores Drive, backing out of the driveway was never a problem and neither was road noise. We all slept soundly. It is clean and very well maintained with beautiful furnishings and high quality interiors. It is within walking distance to La Jolla Shores beach which is very family-friendly, super clean, with views of the cove, kayakers, surfers, etc. Although no dogs or alcohol are allowed on that beach, there are life guards on duty, easy access to kayaking, etc. and permanent cement pits for beach fires if you are lucky enough to grab one. We walked to the Birch Aquarium one day and to the beach every day. We even had family pictures taken near the pier at the Scripps Institute with a beautiful sunset as the backdrop. There are so many attractions in San Diego...some of which we have done before (Coronado Island, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, the Gliderport) and some we visited on this trip (the Aquarium and San Diego Zoo). We ate in most meals and enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed kitchen; however we did treat ourselves to dinner out under the stars on the outdoor patio of The Prado in Balboa Park and would recommend that restaurant to others. The agent was very helpful and responsive in answering our questions and I would absolutely recommend this property to a friend or relative. Of all the homes we have rented over the years (there have been many), the entire family (from Cali, Texas and Arizona) agreed this is the only one we would love coming back to for years to come.
