The location and property were outstanding, walking distance from plenty to keep you busy for a week. We loved the atmosphere of the property and really enjoyed the near by beach. The pier and strand were always entertaining and the food everywhere we went was top notch. The particular room itself was not the cleanest by any means. There were cob webs, stained and old carpet, old not comfortable beds and furniture, broken toilet/sink/shower door, old mattress stored under newer matress , very old televisions, mold and soap build up in showers, excessive amounts of random unneeded stuff that clutters free space all over, patio furniture was broken and useless except for those cheap uncomfortable white plastic chairs, the entire place is in desperate need of a paint job....baseboards have drips, stains, and dust of who knows and walls are just gross. Overall the condo needs an update in many aspects. My mother left a key in the dresser drawer on accident, and when we asked if they found it, they wanted to charge $25 because they had to go back to find it, and that didn't include fees to ship it back!!!!....how was it not found during the cleaning???, probably the reason the entire place is in the shape it is in...sad. The owners are friendly people that responded to our questions in somewhat of a timely manner and opened their home to us. The property is pretty cool with its lush jungle grounds and decent gym and game room. The pool was nice and the public showers were great. There was nice bbq in public area and the coy pond kept the kids interested on walks around the property. I would definitely stay again at this property, but hesitate to stay in this unit until the owners put a big chunk of change back into their investment/ rental. As I looked around the property I found the same prices on way more updated and clean units, now I know. As an fyi: everywhere has a happy hour menu for drinks and food that are reasonably priced, just ask...hours are usually like 3-7; Betty's had the best fish, Mary's had the best breakfast, Benitos pizza is a must stop...we got the 24 inch, mind blowing good!!!!, Mexican cantina near regal theater had great night life with live band, walk and ride the coaster to San Diego or another great city like Carlsbad, grab lunch at the harbor shopping mall, shop at the farmers market, but spend most of your time on the beach.....we had a blast in this area and made some great memories.
