Spacious Home with Big Yard, Garage , 6-Bedroom, in Rancho Penasquitos
Rancho Peñasquitos
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1 review)
"Let me start with the positives. The back yard was awesome and had space for our large group of kids (6 young kids) to run around. The beds were also all extremely comfortable. There were plenty of tables/seating space for our group (4 families). There was an awesome neighborhood park nearby as well and it was not a far drive from La Jolla beach which was great. Some cons: the towels were tiny and there weren’t many. There were no spare bed sheets anywhere. The amenities listed weren’t accurate....
