My family had a wonderful summer vacation in this condo. It was the perfect size for the four of us. The ocean views from the living room and master bedroom instantly made us feel relaxed and happy. As a home cook, I was very impressed by the kitchen. For a beach retreat, it was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, appliances and accessories to cook anything you'd like. During our stay, restaurants were only doing take out and outdoor dining so we prepared nearly all our meals ourselves in the kitchen. There was an ample supply of dishes and glasses with a very quiet dishwasher so clean up was easy. The furnishings in the condo looked brand new with a calming color scheme and relaxing beach images. The beds and pillows were very comfortable with extra blankets and pillows in the closets. The window coverings in the bedrooms let in a lot of light at sunrise. If you are a sensitive sleeper, bring an eye mask to sleep in otherwise you'll be woken up at first light. The washer/dryer were very large and efficient. We opened up the balcony glass doors, turned the ceiling fans on, and had lovely evenings watching the sunset and playing games. Beach access is down a public access staircase of about 100 steps. There is a rinse off shower at the top of the stairs, a lifeguard tower at the bottom of the stairs, and there are no public bathrooms. At the time of our stay in mid-July, masks/face coverings were required while using the staircase. Once down on the sand, there was plenty of space to spread out and have physical distance from other beach goers. It never felt crowded and we didn't mind walking up to the condo to use our clean bathroom. The water is perfect for swimming, boogie boarding and surfing. The sand is soft and can be built into beautiful sand castles. The condo beach closet on the balcony was full of 4 boogie boards, sand toys, 4 beach chairs, and 2 beach umbrellas. There were tennis racquets too but we never ended up using the tennis courts at the condo complex. We spent every day at the beach except for one day of sightseeing around San Diego. Laura was very helpful in providing clear instructions for entry to the condo and responded quickly to my questions. We appreciated having her cell number in case of emergencies but never needed to contact her during our 9 day stay. Having an assigned parking spot in the covered garage was a plus and it was a short walk to the private condo entrance. We loved our vacation stay here!
