We are a family of 10, from the ages of 8-88. The location is ideal for coming and going to all the activities, hikes, beaches, balboa park, zoo, restaurants and an easy trip to the airport. While here at the home base there was always fun to be had with the pool, hot tub, outdoor fire place, ping pong and more. My only advice is be sure to read the “other things” for the extra fees for heating the pool and hot tub.
