Owner's Response: Dear Renters, this family was real nice. From our end, I am a psychology counselor, Dental Hygienist, Naturopath Doc and Real Estate Creative person and So is my partner a Health Practitioner. I have run medical clinices and owned yoga centers and am very punctual. I answer emails every 2 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year even when traveling, of which I do since we own 6 properties. I also have staff and a partner on call. At the least we answer every 24 hours. We also return deposits within 21 to 30 days max, but now only do the property damage insurance for $49. The party below, the check did not arrive back so we feel the need to express we are very responsible. I worked on our hawaii bed and breakfast mailing some checks from there which may have delayed that one. We even have staff per property and do our best while also being muliti dimensional
practitioners. The beach on google is 1500 feet if you take Bonair our street and a few more hundred feet as indicated by renter if you take the next street over. First 23 properties are condos, motels and no yards. We are the next section, with peace, quiet and yards by scenic trail and 11 houses to shops and restaurants and 1500 feet to Bonair Shack entrance to wind n sea beach, voted top ten in US. Thanks for coming to see us! you wont be disappointed and both my partner and I are reachable by text, cell and email daily. Kind regards

Owner's Response: I am just amazed at the totally opposite from a professional vacation review renter, than ones that have traveled all over on vrbo and post our home as
one to return to and so well loved in the huffington post. I think our experiences as renters is sometimes colored by many factors including misperceptions due to lack of communication or interpretations without talking to us. For one, we are definitely one of the rare properties with a yard this close to wind n sea beach, 1500 feet from the main entrance. Yes Bonair street, our street connects to the world famous shack and yes you cross a street, but so does the elementary school and the high school, parallel to us with thousands of kids a day and home families, with no complaint, just happy to be by the beach. Properties are small here and start at 1.2 million for a 1800 sq foot home, and the big ones are on the cliffs.
Also we are 11 houses to excellent family owned restaurants, well known to La Jolla and visitors, that you can walk to from our house in no time, such as Su Casa and the Mandarin house , the gym, the spa, yoga, and various shops. The downtown cove of course is 1/2 mile but we are the village of wind n sea beach clearly marked on the listing headings, and is not downtown. We also as most homeowners, do have a post maid cleaning option but they do not do dishes in the pricing but do clean thoroughly and fully. We also have three fireplaces, not one and the outdoor one is a historic brick one that you can put dura flame logs in and sit around and is also well loved, You can not build a big wood fire, and we ask not to as it is historic, but definitely provides outside warmth if needed and ambiance. Also we regularly sleep 6 to 10 in the house and clearly give our bed layout. This close to the beach we are the average size home and you won't find any bigger in the beach barber tract. In fact ours is the biggest lot, a double lot, r 2 with a cottage you can rent with the house creating a lot of space and charm. The main house 1800, the covered patio with fireplace and deck and second living room, 500 and the cottage 600, plus a 7000 square foot lot. If you come to La Jolla you come to the historic area, its all built in 1930 and homes are all decorated in themes of its time and homes. That is what we are about, not about large track homes, although the bedrooms are bigger than my track homes. WE allow 10 in the house and 5 in the cottage and this is the first complaint in 15 years.

Owner's Response: This guest was very communicative and a gracious renter as well as people. They had a crib delivered. We have hardwood floors and new bamboo ones in our bedrooms. They were conscientious and had the crib on the living room rug. The living room is good size but with crib that can cut down on space. We have added rugs to the side bedrooms so cribs can also be placed there. The front room is good size for an extra bed and we do supply two extra fold out double size futons as well as three bedrooms plus living room convertible futon and
new italian leather full size couch, love seat and ottoman, that were very nice and expensive yet as renters note very comfortable. We have two living rooms with the house and three with the cottage. One living rooms is a 10 piece sectional off the back dining room and yard under a covered patio with fireplace and second dining area. Makes the house so much larger with indoor outdoor and we have a good size tropically landscaped yard with maturel tall plants and bamboo making it private and peaceful. WE also have a new added on deck for second patio extension into the yard. Lots of room for outdoor dining and family. The front room was converted to a third bedroom and we provided two double beds in there so it could hold a couple or two people or several kids or even two couples if you need to save money. We haven't had complaints on it in 12 years being noisy and we lived there 10 years prior so we will check that out. Its a quite end of the beach barber tract , although beach areas have more folks going by to the beach. Lastly we added new marble travertine shower with a lip to fill as a tub for kids and sand and even pets after the beach. The bathroom with the claw tub is the original antique and baths stay very hot as it is cast iron and attractive and better for bathing. It is not ideal for showering but we have added a shower head for convenience and the new marble shower is sturdy for even handicapped, as we made it accessible to get into. WE would love to host you and find our location , which I first picked to live here more quite than any homes in this area as we are 3 houses to the scenic trail and park yet can access the beach straight down our street and have parking on our property which is also rare at the beach. Lots of perks , yet walk to all. Join us soon!
