Boost your immune system and mental performance with a dip in the Renu Therapy cold plunge tank in the garden.
Why Kids Love it
The house is great for toddlers, children and teenagers. The lush green backyard is a safe space to play (with no alley behind, a rarity in San Diego) and a fun spot to hang out - the hosts have an outdoor art and craft area where kids can paint, try out ‘experiments’ or relax under a tree. The ocean is close enough for even the littlest legs and at low tide there are small tide pools where kids can discover ocean animals. There are books in English and German, as well as tons of toys including American Girl Dolls, Lego., Schleich Horses with barn, dress-up clothes, 2 huge play horses to ride on, skateboards, scooters, 2 boogie boards and a surf board. Teenagers love the area as it's walkable to Starbucks, surf shops with food and other cafes.
