Sunny Dream Home 3BR

This property has vintage Southern California charm. The backyard is gorgeous with all the plants you’re surrounded by. The pool is a great touch, one table and a set of four chairs outside are nice and updated while the others have weathered and faded cushions. There was also only one pool side lounge chair (also dated). This wasn’t a deal breaker for us but something to keep in mind if you’re planning to use the outdoor space. The kitchen is spacious, had everything we needed. The location is very close to all the cute shops and restaurants in La Jolla. The home is accessible and central- we spent time in La Jolla, Del Mar, Old Town, and downtown San Diego and nothing was ever more than a 20 minute drive. The beds were comfy, upstairs closet is huge and was great for a group of girls getting ready. The host was very communicative and professional. The small den was cozy and great for the TV use for our small group. I felt safe and comfortable all weekend.

It was really good for family getaway, 5 adults 2 kids. Lots of room, super kitchen, pool was fun for kids. Unfortunately the kids were quite noisy in the pool, and we got a note from neighbors admonishing us! Sorry. But they’re from MT so a pool was special! The place in general needs some TLC, didn’t have enough warm bedding for cool nights, needed a code for the thermostat which we weren’t given, property mgmt provides skimpy towels. It’s a very convenient location to all things La Jolla. All in all, we were quite happy at the Sunny Dream Home.

Great house. Little outdated but that didn’t bother us. The pool was great. The master bed was very comfy.

A few comments on the property to help others in the future: 1) the property is a bit dated - not all of the window cranks work, furniture has covers over it, upstairs carpet is stained in a few spots, sliding door screens fall off the track and don't slide well, 2) there are a number of family pictures and photos that some may find a bit weird, 3) the upstairs master bed is NOT a King but a Queen and needs to be replaced - it squeaks and is not comfortable, 4) the pool is shaded for more than half the day, the spa CAN'T BE USED as it and the pool are NOT HEATED (the pool is cleaned on Friday's and a lot of leaves fall in the pool and the surrounding areas; the pool plaster needs to be redone) 5) the downstairs twins include a trundle bed and the mattresses should be replaced. There is no chair or table in the Master. The space is quite large and roomy and only an easy 1.1 mile walk to the beach. The house is next to La Jolla Parkway which has a lot of traffic that you can hear if the windows are open. The space with the piano has a table in it with four chairs, not the table and two chairs as shown. The kitchen has lots of everything, except a coffee maker, there's a Keurig. Also, be careful of the up-vent over the cooktop as several of us hit our heads on it (it's probably a foot too low). The master deck has no furniture on it. Overall, the space suited our needs but we expected more for the price. The house definitely needs some attention.
