We had a great time at this VRBO in San Diego. The house was beautiful, with stunning views, in a great location near the beach, and wonderfully quiet, a fantastic hot tub, and was well-appointed.
However, there were some significant issues that affected our stay.
1) We discovered black mold in a mini-split in the main bedroom late in our stay, which had a negative impact on my wife's health even 2 weeks after our stay.
2) The hot tub had been shocked with chlorine just before our arrival, which is common to do; however, the levels were extremely high and we were not aware because we were not notified. As a result, after using it for a short time, we had eye irritation and itchy/burny skin (one of us had peeling the next day). Again, no apology, just a comment that it had been shocked.
3) The patio heater didn’t work, and despite troubleshooting it ourselves and also notifying the host multiple times that we really wanted to use it to stay warm in the chilly evenings, it was not addressed because they and the handyman were out of town over Thanksgiving. Even after they returned to their unit upstairs, they did not come down to try to fix.
Overall, it’s a beautiful property and checks all the boxes in terms of location, beauty, etc., but caveat emptor if any issues arise because they may not be addressed in a timely manner.
