Over the years, we've stayed at several places along the Northern San Diego County coast, including some pretty fancy ones. This was one of our favorites. The floorplan is a little unconventional -- with bedrooms on the first floor and living space on the second -- but it worked really well for us since we were dealing with some mobility issues. With two queen and two king beds, our family of 6 (grandparents, parents aunt and teen) had perfect living accommodations. The house is huge. I don't think they list it in the description, but it's about 3700 square feet. The only real issue we had is the the AC is not sufficient to cool the house. Bedrooms were very comfortable, but living space upstairs was pretty hot. It has a great deck to sit on in the shade; actually it has multiple decks to sit on. The property was shady, mostly hard-scaped, and very pleasant for just chilling with the family. And it does have an ocean view from the 3rd floor balcony.I was concerned about the distance to the beach. Yes, it's .9 miles to Moonlight State Beach, which is an awesome beach, by the way, but it's not 1 mile to the ocean. It is less than .5 miles to many food places, coffee shops, etc., which was really convenient. The whole family enjoyed the stay and we would definitely consider staying here again.
