Tourmaline House: Walk to Beach & Restaurants, Fenced Yard, EV Charger, Bikes

We enjoyed our stay at Tourmaline House. We got off to a rocky start because when we arrived I didn't realized that our Host had sent me an email with instructions about wfi. I thought the information would be on the VRBO site. We solved the issue with the help of VRBO and proceeded to have a lovely time. The home was clean, well stocked and a great location close to restaurants and the beach. The master bed was very comfortable and we had lots of towels. We encountered some issues with accessibility which were solved by the Host who asked her staff to make the back fence accessible. When I had a problem with the front door code, the Host came to my rescue and gave me a key which I really appreciated.

House was clean and well maintained, enough space for our family. Only suggestion is to bring the basic kitchen seasoning very limited other than salt and pepper.

Everything was great. As advertised. Enjoyed the location, house, etc. we will be back

Very comfortable, convenient, clean. Host is wonderful.

We spent seven weeks in this comfortable and friendly house. It was nicely clean on arrival, well maintained and exactly right for our winter getaway from the north! Our two little dogs were happy in the back yard. The owner was very responsive when needed.

Nice house with a 10 minute walk to beach. Room enough for 3 adults and 3 children. Very comfortable and clean. Great location for beach, Belmont Park, Zoo, Old Town, Downtown. Close to shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. Would stay again.

We enjoyed this 3 bedroom house with fenced in backyard. Plenty of room for family that visited for a cookout. A few used the bikes that were provided as well as the wagon to go to the beach with a young child. The location was convenient to walk to coffee shops and breakfast and the beach. I will look to stay at this location again.

Great place, nicely equipped, fantastic location

Great location within walking distance of beach and several local restaurants. Disappointed with how some bare necessities were neglected. One bottle of shampoo between 2 bathrooms and 8 people. 2 washcloths and 7 towels provided. No beach towels. 2 bars of soap provided. 3 rolls of toilet paper. No trash bags large enough to replace the ones we took out. Basically had to shop for the “basics” after traveling across the country and expecting those amenities to be provided. Very disappointing. The kids mattresses need to be replaced as they were complaining about feeling springs in their backs. No cots available.

Wonderful location. Great backyard for our two German Shepherds; All grass, no poison plants for dogs. One block from the beach. Never took the car out of the garage. Great restaurants, grocery store, beach, all within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed Pastiamos, The Fig Tree and The Hideaway.

The location is great. Very close to beach access. While on a main street, it is a bit down from the really busy part of Mission Blvd. The house has everything needed in the kitchen. Backyard was nice to have for the dogs. Owner was responsive when issues arose.

Great location! Perfect for 2 couples. Quick walk, block and 1/2, to Tourmaline Surf Park. 2 blocks to specialty grocery store, Oscars incredible taco shop, good Hawaiian food. Walk to La Jolla. Beach gear provided a little worn. Comfy beds, plenty of room for 2 couples. Very busy road, noisy with windows open. Nice table, chairs, umbrella in back yard with gas BBQ.

This home is conveniently located near Tourmaline Beach (walking distance) as well as several restaurants and shops. The home is located on a busy street so be careful when backing out of the driveway especially when there are cars parked on the street that can obstruct your view. Also the driveway curb doesn't line up with the garage, so you'll have to park diagonally on the driveway. We found all of the items listed on the inventory list for the house in the garage, including boogie boards, wagons, beach chairs, etc. There is no air conditioning but it was a cooler weekend when we visited so we did not have any issues with temperature. The house has three bedrooms and one of the bedrooms has double bunk beds which are great for families with kids. There are two bathrooms (one in the master bedroom and one in the hallway). The property manager was responsive to our inquiries before and during our stay. The master bedroom bed was comfortable but the queen bed in the second bedroom was not quite as comfortable. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and would recommend this house if you're looking for a home that's located close to the beach and other amenities.

The owner of this property was very communicative and responsible of all of our requests. Unfortunately, the house is not as clean as we had hoped. Additionally when we did try to use the barbecue, it ran completely out of gas. The additional gas bottle left beside the barbecue was also empty.
