A MUST STAY WHEN HOSTING FAMILY LOCAL TO THE SAN DIEGO AREA!4 starts for picture that represents the house because it is far better in person. The light switches are hard to figure out, but by day 3 of 7 I could remember what light switches were used best.Outstanding fine china and easy to use everyday dishes. They even have a vase to hold the downtown Carlsbad Wednesday farmers market flowers (2-8) that are the prettiest flowers you will ever see. No glass in the dishwasher, do not even try. Large sink to clean dishes by hand as a family, AND a well lit bright areas to develop core memories to last a lifetime. This is a must stay IF; you enjoy cleaning and taking care of a large house, hosting family BBQ/pool parties (have to be done by 10pm), and displaying fresh salads/ fruit for your loved ones. The host is the best person. I stayed 7 days, noticed some appliances needed maintenance and was there in 10min. You are able to request a private check-in and not to be contacted by host unless there is an emergency. Very well communication. BIGGEST THING IS TO WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS POSTED BY QR CODES BY SCANNING WITH phone camera AND LOCK ALL THE DOORS. Use the garage door and just 3-point backwards, you will have a better time, but watch your left side! Then, if it is locked or not in a Costco black and yellow box don’t touch it without contacting HOST.Be patient , slow down, relax, and ONLY let the kids go down the slide. Adults can, but it hurts your hips. -Alexi
