  My son was just married in San Diego and my family used this wonderful home for our stay. It was perfect for us! The house is very comfortable and extremely well outfitted. Everything we needed was there. Our guests enjoyed the breathtaking views and beautiful sunsets. It had something for everyone. We were able to kayak and ride bikes (even in December) as well as go for walks and grill outside. My small grandchildren enjoyed the tricycles, games, sand toys and movies. We especially enjoyed the comfort of the enclosed sun porch. The house was not fancy, but it was clean and well kept. Our hosts provided excellent service and were very accomodating. We had two individuals who had limited mobility. They especially appreciated the single floor layout. The location was perfect for us . central to all of our events. We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet. This is not in a noisy neighborhood and away from the busyness of the beaches and commercial establishments. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to someday return.

  This home is VERY comfortable, and is VERY well equipped. The manger, Rowena, could not be more helpful. There is LOTS of space, with very large open living room and a sun room with a view to die for. The house is not fancy, but is really good for a beach house. The furnishings are comfortable, and the beds are very good. We loved the little touches, the doors all electronically coded to our combination, so we didn't need keys, the 2 garage door openers to borrow (a double garage), the nice fruit bowl and cheese, baguette and wine for us at check in, the full assortment of condiments in the refrigerator and cabinets, so you didn't have to buy the basics all over again, and best of all, the beach cruiser bikes to borrow, along with the kayaks. We enjoyed the fire pit, and the beach chairs just ouside the doors. The downstairs bedroom and bath are a bit musty, but the space was large, and it worked for our small family reunion. You are 5 minutes to sea world, 15 to the airport, and close to Trader Joes and Von's. I hope to return.

  We were in town for a conference downtown but wanted to stay somewhere away from the chaos. This house was perfect. Excellent sunsets everynight. Close to pacific beach which has better and less crowded restaurants and clubs than the gaslamp or downtown. Used the bikes to enjoy the boardwalk right out the back deck. It was about a 10-15 minute drive to the convention center. Very relaxing and hope to stay there again.

  We have rented homes before but none have been so well outfitted. Everything we needed was here upon arrival (basic toiletries, beach towels, etc). There were more than enough toys and books to keep our active 3 year old busy- even a tricycle! Everything was clean, and the location was gorgeous as well as incredibly convenient. Our stay at this property far exceeded our expectations. Additionally, the owner was beyond attentive to us from the time of booking (6 months out) through the end of our visit.

  Very nice home right on the beach of beautiful Sail Bay. Roomy porch on bay side faces west (sunsets!) and gets a wonderful breeze off the water. Great location - ten minutes from the airport and next to Mission and Pacific beaches. Many nice restaurants in the area. Just a few steps out the door to boardwalk and waterfront. Owner thought of everything: kayaks, bikes, fire pit, grille, boogie boards, portable cooler, beach towels, beach umbrella and more. Will definitely consider staying again. And plenty of room to bring along some friends or grandparents.

  We stayed at this property in Mid-April (5 adults and 2 children). It was ideal. The property was exactly as advertised, sparkling clean, well maintained and fully equipped. In addition the owner was easy to work with and extremely helpful. Rowena knew we were arriving on a later flight and even had a bottle of wine and a french baguette waiting for us. We highly recommend this property

  I live in San Diego looking for a house in the beach for our family reunion and found this house. It was a perfect place that I wanted for my children and my relatives who are coming to join us. The house has every thing for all ages: our nephew loved the kayak and used them every time they have a chance. Our daughter family loved riding the bike. My grandson loved the sand box, myself love the view and the relax asmosphere. All of us had a great time here. Rowena tried to provide us everything we asked for. The arranging of the house is cozy and comfortable makes us feel as we are right at home. House location and the view is gorgeous. In total, there is no complain at all. I hope that we can have chance to come back in the future. Thanks Rowena. We all had good time, very relax vacation and a memorable reunion.

  We just got back home and this place is incredible. My family had so much fun and the sunset views were fantastic. My 4-year old daughter woke us up every morning so we can start the new day and walk along the beach. The description provided by the owners is spot on and everything you need will be there. I will definitely be trying to book our next vacation there. Thanks for a great time!

  We really enjoyed our week in San Diego. This house has amazing bay views (great sunsets!). It was so fun to watch sailboats, water-skiers, paddleboats, and rowers from the veranda. It has a very spacious great room and well-appointed bedrooms. Plenty of room for 4 adults, a toddler and a baby. Our toddler could play safely in the bay and we could stroll to a nearby playground. There are miles of paths to walk & bike on. We enjoyed grilling in the backyard. Rowena, the owner, was very easy to work with. Thanks for a fun week!
