Beautiful, Spacious, Sunny, and CLEAN!
My husband and I chose the Whale House Penthouse for our 10th anniversary getaway. Having never been to San Diego before (or California for that matter) we were a little unsure of the location and if it was centrally located to all the things we wanted to do and see. I can assure you, it was! The location was perfect! Although it didn't have an ocean view, the ocean was very close by...just a short 2 minute (or less) walk. The Bay was equally as close going the other direction. We rented a car at the last minute, and I'm very glad we did. There are plenty of taxis around the area, but we wanted to go out and explore on our own. We loved going to La Jolla, Coronado Island, and Point Loma. All of these beautiful places were within 10-15 minutes driving time. We also enjoyed downtown San Diego and the Gaslamp district. On our last full day there, we ventured just a little further and went right next to the border of Mexico to the shopping outlets. That was around a 20-30 minute drive. We weren't able to cross over into Mexico since my husband has misplaced his passport, but we didn't need it. And from what I hear, you might want to stay out of that area of Mexico anyways. San Diego was absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed everything about the Penthouse. I loved how spotless clean it was, and the bed was extremely comfortable. (I'm picky about both things when choosing a vacation rental) Cheri is a wonderful and generous person to work with when renting her place. She left a fabulous welcoming basket with food, goodies, and sparkling cider and a personalized note for us. Very thoughtful!
If there was one thing negative about the whole trip, it would be that a few of the nights we stayed there, there were some pretty loud and rowdy neighbors late at night through the early morning hours. We left the tv on in the bedroom to help drown out some of the noise. None of this was under Cheri's control however, and certainly at no fault to her. I'm guessing they were other renters enjoying a vacation of their own at nearby rental houses.
One more thing- we enjoyed the beach equipment that is provided! The boogie boards and beach towels were great.
Overall I'd give this whole experience a 5 out of 5 stars. We would LOVE to come back to San Diego sometime in the future.
Thank you Cheri for a memorable getaway and anniversary trip! We loved your rental home and will cherish our memories there!
Risposta del proprietario: The Mission Beach community is an exciting environment for family fun and good times with friends surrounded by a beautiful beach and bay. Whale House is located on south Mission Beach peninsula on Brighton Court, which has received awards for clean desirability and noted for being a quiet courtyard. Rumored amongst college students as "Boring Brighton" translates to family guests and residence as peace and quiet! Involved owners, plus 2 Neighborhood Watch captains, one whose front door is 30' across from the Penthouse, and the other who lives one door down are partly why our court has earned this reputation.
These Tennessee guests were super! However, I wish they had called me with their concern as I just learned about their situation. My welcome note always has one key line. "Call me ANYTIME if you have any questions or concerns." IF ever a guest at Whale House is disturbed by noise day or night, a quick call to me instigates an immediate call to the Owner of the house hosting the noisemakers, which typically swiftly concludes the disturbance. Neither my family, nor our beagle minds a wee hour wake up call. Our guests are our first priority! The results are that Whale House has been fortunate to have happily rebooked over a dozen families each summer since it's beginning.
The City of San Diego Noise Control Ordinance supports our residents and guests right to peace, and addresses those who on occasion may need a reminder.
