When we arrived we found the condo to be as advertised, the kitchen is well equipped, spices and all. The only thing we could have used was a food blender to make smoothies, other than that, it had everything you could possibly need. It is perfect to have guests, the second bedroom is totally private with it''s own bathroom. The condo was clean and well maintained. It was wonderful to have a garage to park the car, especially since a few of the days were above normal warm! It has a private patio with a large BBQ and four chairs. We didn't use the pool area very often, it was difficult for us to get there because of walking distance, but the few times we used it, it was a beautiful area. The condo is very quiet, you see very few people and hear very little noise, it faces the inner court area so you don't hear any street noise. The owners are most responsive to any needs you may have, and very easy to reach should you need anything or have any questions. They gave us great advise on places to eat, beaches nearby, shopping, and anything else you may wish to know. Some of our favorite restaurants were Phil's BBQ, The Islands Restaurant, The Original Pancake House, and a small restaurant at a nearby winery. If you're looking for a great church in the area, we found The City Church, just 10 minutes from the condo, they were like an immediate family. Oh yes, it also is close to all kinds of shopping, including a large 3 level mall, and of course Costco! We spent several days in San Diego, it is only a 30 minute freeway drive, we loved Coronado Beach area, Sea World, Old Town San Diego and Del Mar Beach area, all within a 30 minute drive.

Great place to stay if you want a quiet place away from tourist hotels but need a base for getting around San Diego County. Very close to the San Diego Safari Park, hiking, shopping. The pool and spa area is very clean and well-maintianed -- a real pleasure to use. And the community is 55 and over, no kids jumping on you or playing loud music. The unit is spacious, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is the best-equipped of any condo I have stayed in.

We loved our stay. The condo was so comfortable and quiet. Went to the pool everyday when we returned from sightseeing. Gorgeous! Played golf at Oaksnorth. 5 minute walk or you could drive. Nice course. More difficult than it appears. Lots of great restaurants in the area and San Diego was wonderful. Especially, Balboa Park and the Zoo. Overall, very relaxing stay!

Stayed at this apartment for three months while new house was being finished. Apartment is well equipped and comfortable. It is part of an over 55 neighborhood so is very quiet and the grounds are well looked after. There is a lovely swimming pool for the residents about a 5 minute walk from the apartment together with a library and meeting room. During our stay several events took place which we attended. For those looking for an active stay the neighborhood has its own golf course and there are a couple more within 15 minutes. There is also a hiking club. Ideally situated for shopping and easy access to the highway; about 25 minutes from nearest beach. Wineries in the area make for some enjoyable outings. Highly recommend for peaceful, comfortable vacation. Lovely, lovely owners.
