Location, location, location. 1 1/2 blocks from our favorite beach in CA, La Jolla Shores. Also one block from all the great restaurants. As a golfer, it's only about 10 minutes to Torrey PInes. Great view from balcony and living room of the ocean and we had some great sunsets. We had everything that was needed, including beach chairs, etc. We also went a few times to the pool and hot tub which is just a couple minutes walk. It was nice to hear the waves and we would definitely look at coming back.
