The house is in an excellent location, with fantastic views, day or night. The kitchen contains many quality appliances, and a decent amount of cookware, bowls, plates, silverware, cups, mugs and glasses (only missing soup spoons and serving spoons). The hot tub was enjoyed by everyone. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The downside was the furnishings have been aging for some time. Some of the bedroom furnishings do not belong in a high end rental, and some should have been repaired or replaced. Particularly troublesome for my wife was the opening and closing of the curtains in the master bedroom. There are only curtains hung on poles. Because of their height it’s necessary to climb up and down on chairs to move the curtains.
Finally, we had two significant problems that reflect on the management system. The day after we arrived we realized that the temperature in the house was not reflective of the thermostat setting. La Jolla Rentals got a maintenance worker to come that afternoon, and he determined that the thermostat had lost contact with the HVAC system. He fixed it. Secondly, on the next day, when setting the table for Thanksgiving, I realized that the dishwasher was not working properly, was giving error messages, and many of the dishes in the cupboards were not cleaned properly. I hand washed them all and, after Thanksgiving, informed the Rental agents. They volunteered to come out, but we felt we would rather they repaired the dishwasher after we left.
