We will be back!!
Pros:

The location of this property can't be beat! After Airbnb canceled my booking 10 days before my family of 15 was scheduled to be there, I was left scrambling to find something comparable. I wanted a location on the beach so that it would make it easier on my children and grandchildren. This was a blessing in disguise! The Wayfarer turned out to be so much better than I expected. It was super clean. The staff were constantly cleaning and fixing things. They were all friendly and helpful. The pool and jacuzzi were amazing! We had 5 rooms total, one oceanfront and the others were partial views. They were all great and very comfortable. It was nice having a refrigerator and microwave in each room, but there were so many restaurants nearby that we were able to walk to each day. I can't wait to go back. We have a new favorite hotel in SD.

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was amazing!

Great family vacation!
Pros:

Location was amazing as were the staff. The rooms were spacious and clean

Cons:

The prices of water in the cafe, close to twenty dollars for two bottles of waters is a joke even by California price’s standards

Overall amazing stay
Pros:

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Clean and comfortable. Noisy holiday weekend, but room is totally sound proof when window is closed.

Cons:

Coffee was ok, would’ve liked something that fit the vibe better, like specialty rather than machine with no flavor. Walk way from pool/jacuzzi to outdoor gate is extremely dangerous and wet, path way should be better texture for safety and cleanliness

Beautiful noisy beach.
Pros:

Room was clean and beds very comfortable. Location is right on the beach. Pool is great.

Cons:

Plumbing is old so toilet hard to flush & tub drain was slow. Towel bar fell off the wall. Nightclub just across the street so music is loud at night.
