Family vacation had excellent stay

We traveled with 5 adults and 4 children, ages 11, 11, 9 and 8. All of the adults had king size beds and the kids had twin beds with trundles. The house had every possible kitchen appliance and supplies you’d ever need. We’ve stayed at several VRBO’s for past family vacations and this is definitely the most appointed one. There was also a game room in the garage, which kept the kids busy. The only issue we had was the hot tub didn’t work. But the owner was very responsive to the issue and because it was a holiday weekend, was unable to get someone out there to fix it. Instead she refunded some of the fee for rental. In fact, every time I wrote the owner, she replied very quickly. I would highly recommend this house if you’re visiting San Diego.
