Well kept house.

We had a pleasant stay at the Casa Charles and really enjoyed the hot tub but never ended up using the pool. The internet was solid as advertised. The house isn’t perfect and one of the bedrooms is in a converted garage (where I slept) but it’s well kept and you can tell the owners care. The house is very close to the freeway which is convenient but also creates some noise pollution, but not enough that we were bothered by it much. The drive between the house to mission beach was about 20 minutes, but we were never driving in traffic. We would love to stay here again.
