Ocean Beach holiday house

This historic Spanish Revival home was beautifully refurbished, retaining the original charm of the house while updating it with modern conveniences. There are coved ceilings in the living room/dining room and the kitchen features a refurbished period gas stove which works perfectly. The bathroom had plenty of storage for the inevitable abundance of various toiletries from home.
Our vacation experience was all about convenience: there is a driveway/parking spot next to the house so there was no hunting for a spot on the street! There is a very nice side yard with a large patio table and a grill (the propane tank was full!) and space for bicycle storage. Garbage and recycle bins are easy to access. The property is five minutes walk from shopping, dining, and beach recreation. A bicycle ride to SeaWorld is 20 minutes. Fabulous!
We found the house to be very well stocked with necessities; there was no emergency trip to the store for anything. The kitchen was very well set up, easy and pleasurable to cook in. The closet and dresser space was more than adequate. Linens and towels (including beach towels) were plentiful. There is even a good sized library of DVD's as well as some great reading material. If you choose not to bring your own bikes, there are 4 cruisers in a side yard. The addition of a computer/printer made the experience that much better, so that we could choose when to feel "cut-off from the world', yet have the convenience of all things online.
Our favorite aspect of the house was the very thoughtful and artistic way it is painted and decorated throughout. The lovely color choices and furnishings are very much in keeping with the Spanish Revival style of the home. It's a cozy and soothing environment, with a touch of whimsy provided by retro-Mexican art.
Our family frequently vacations in San Diego and this was our best experience yet!
