Mount Soledad Vacation Rentals, Homes in La Jolla CA

Overall, the place was nice. Lots of rooms and great for large groups. The kitchen was large; however, the supplies were barebones. I didn't trust the dishes since a few of the pans still had food on them, despite being put away. All of the larger pans were not compatible with the induction cooktop, so we had to purchase our own 12" induction approved pan to make more than one pancake at a time. The sheet pan is too big to fit into the oven. To me, it doesn't make sense to have cookware that isn't compatible with the cooking methods available. This was very frustrating since we had a full house and had the full intention of cooking to offset some trip costs. Usually, a VRBO rental has minimal spices (i.e. salt and pepper), but this one doesn't have any, so make sure to plan ahead. The Keurig reservoir is cracked, so you can only fill the water halfway. It's still functional, just annoying. There were only two kitchen towels. We did end up purchasing some additional hand towels so as not to burn through rolls of papertowel. The upstairs bathroom off of the double king room looks like a tub, but only functions as a shower. The driveway was big enough to comfortably fit four vans / SUVs. The owner should consider cutting back the landscaping on the left side of the driveway (when exiting the drive), as you just have to inch your way into the street and hope for the best with the blind corner. Other than those things, the place was very good. The communication to get some of the items fixed was quick. For instance, they came and cleaned the patio furniture when asked because it looked like it hadn’t been done in awhile. The area was very good and close to the cove (within walking distance). 85% rating. If the kitchen issues are improved, the place was a success and the price was very manageable.
