We stayed just 2 nights to attend the San Diego County Fair. The host did everything to make sure we knew what was available in the area and inside the home. The outside is very inviting and neatly manicured. The garage was roomy enough to comfortably park our SUV. The inside was beautifully appointed with a beach-themed decor and everything was SPOTLESS! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen contained everything we needed. We highly recommend this home and would like to have had a longer stay. ##### Mary F.
