This was the perfect spot for our getaway to San Diego. "We" were three women who hadn't seen each other for many, many years, so we needed a spot for lots of talking and relaxing as well as somewhere that was convenient for going to the beach, the theatre, or downtown.
This is that place. It is very quiet and secure, but we could get up in the morning and take a 3-minute walk to Starbucks or the grocery store if we wanted. Or take time out in the afternoon to sit by the pool.
If we wanted a longer walk, we could go to the zoo and back. On Sundays, there is a great farmer's market about a block away. The farmer's market is so nice, I think I will plan my next trip to include a Sunday, just so I can go again.
It also might be helpful to note that the condo itself has lots of the things we needed. For instance, the condo had beach towels, a beach umbrella, sufficient paper products, hair dryers, and basic food items (seasonings, oil, and the like). We didn't bring anything more than we would have brought if we were staying in a hotel.
Lastly, I must say that the owner is more supportive than any I have seen previously. He was never around unless we needed help, and then he was available almost immediately with a helpful suggestion or visit. He was so accommodating that I know when I go to San Diego again, whether with this group or another, I will surely be looking for this property to stay in. It just has everything we wanted or needed, and after spending a month there, it feels a little like "home."
