Surfer from Georgia

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Patricia's home. It was so much more than what we were expecting! The purpose of our trip was to provide the opportunity for our 20 year old son to celebrate his birthday by surfng for five days on Mission Beach. We wanted to be able to see him surf from our home, take just a few steps to get to the ocean and grab some amazing waves. We couldn't have found a better location than this one! With Patricia's well-equipped kitchen - and tons of counter space - I was able to make delicious meals everyday. She even provided spices and cooking essentials that aren't usually found in a rental home. Our bedrooms were very comfortable with amazing views of the ocean. Although it was a bit too cold to enjoy the rooftop as much as we wanted I was able to enjoy my morning coffee up there while taking some beautiful pictures of the sunrise. I was able to walk long distance everyday either on the beach or on the boardwalk. Shopping, restaurants, little cafes. etc were within easy reach. Our 21 year old daughter found a health club nearby that offered a great daily rate for use of their state of the art equipment. With this home being so close to Pacific Beach - virtually right next door - we got to enjoy all that this little town offers. Patricia thank you for your beautiful home and arranging for the friendly dolphins to join our son during his early morning surfing. I do hope that we have the opportunity to return very soon.

Best Location Ever!

We had a WONDERFUL time at your house this past week, It was even better than the website said it would be! Everything was very clean and well kept. Even closer to the ocean that I had anticipated. The outside shower was great, especially for sand-covered children. It was so nice having key codes and not having to worry about keys or who had the key at any given time. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas all provided. Great bedroom layout for a family retreat. Just minutes to the airport and Sea World. A perfect vacation location.

Mission Beach trip

Hi!! Just wanted to let you know what a great week we had. The house was amazing and so much more then we imagined. The set up was perfect for our family and we loved how much it opened up. To fall asleep to the ocean crashing was so peacefull. The weather was perfect. The location and view was amazing. I noticed most of the houses 1 house back from the beach were not able to view the ocean like your house did. It was 20 steps to the sand but queit unlike the houses right on the boardwalk. I am so glad we chose your house. One thing though,,, the pictures on your website do not do the house justice. It is so much nicer then what they show. We would love to come back another time. The house had everything we needed and more. On our last day we were sitting on the roof deck and we got to watch 3 dolphins playing in the waves. I can't believe I even spotted them but it sure was exciting. We were worried that we did not bring chairs, umbrella, ect for the beach and it was great that even that was at the house. It was one of the most relaxing weeks I have had in years. We had plenty to keep us busy during the week but sitting on the beach for the day was the best part of it. This house was great for our family of 3 adults and 3 kids. We have rented in Mission Beach before but it did not compare to your house. Thankyou again.

Seconds from the Ocean

This property was steps from the ocean and the sand. It was a perfect location for us to do our vacationing in San Diego while also enjoying the beach. It's easy to get to, and just minutes from some fun restaurants, bars and shopping. The rooftop patio allowed us to enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach and also a meal or two. The property was well maintained, had all the amenities of home, and the property managers were responsive to us. It was exactly what we were looking for. The only drawbacks were that the third bedroom has 2 twin beds that are really not the best for adults to sleep in, and the garage is small, making it important to have a small car (which we did fortunately!). As runners, we were able to enjoy the boardwalk along the ocean and a variety of other easy to access running routes. Several times we saw dolphins in the surf, while also watching a lot of surfers try their luck with the waves. Great people watching as well!

Our family of four, with two teenagers, stayed at the Kennebeck house the week after Xmas. We loved the house and location was central to everything. Most sites were within a half hour drive from the house.Biking and walking up and down the boardwalk and beach just steps away was fabulous. We barbequed every night on our roof top deck and enjoyed the fireworks from Seaworld from the comfort of this deck also. Family room was spacious and the house was very clean. All questions and concerns we had were answered and solved very quickly. Great location! Great city!

Great place.Nicely maintained, close to everything you might want to go. Twin beds not too comfy for adults and location might be a little noisy on weekends for some people, but we loved it!

Four of us (early to mid-thirties) stayed in this fabulous condo in mid-May. The location is ideal! The beach, restaurants, and shops are within walking distance. The views from the condo are priceless. The bedrooms and bathrooms are immaculately kept and the living area is quite spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed daily bike rides throughout MB, PB, and La Jolla on the bikes provided. All beach equipment is provided as well. Nancy was wonderful to work with, very patient and flexible with all our questions/needs! Thank you Nancy for our wonderful vacation!

Though we had to cancel our reservation, Nancy promptly refunded our security deposit (less the $75 cancellation fee). We will likely reserve this unit again when we plan to come ot San Diego.

My husband and I just spent a wonderful week at the Kennebeck house with our son, daughter-in-law and their 2 daughters ages 12 and 3. The house was perfect for our family and was everything that was advertised. The beach is so close and the roof-top patio was a favorite both during the day for soaking up sunshine and at night for watching the SeaWorld fireworks. I would absolutely recommend this house not only for the convenient location but also for the accommodations. Thanks Nancy and Jeremy!

Our nieces and their two boys stayed with us the week of March 29 at the Kennebeck house. We all loved it! The house is great, comfortable and provided a sensational view of the ocean. The dolphins chasing fish each evening just off the beach was a favorite sight. The boys loved the freedom of being on the sand digging up a storm with the grown-ups watching from the roof deck or livingroom. They moved the beach from one end of the strand to the other a couple times that week! It was a wonderful vacation for everyone and the house was loved by all. We plan to come back for another week.

We had to cancel our reservation, unfortunately, but our deposit was credited back quickly and Nancy was extremely prompt with all correspondence. I'd still love to stay in the house and plan to some week in the future. Thank you Nancy. It was a pleasure doing business with you!

715 Kennebeck was the perfect place for our family Christmas reunion. We were easily able to fit (5) -- us, our daughter, and our son and daughter-in-law. The location is good as a base for sightseeing or taking walks on the beach. Kitchen is well equipped and the 2nd parking spot was well appreciated.

Our weeklong stay at 715 Kennebeck was fabulous. This was the first time any of the 5 of us had ever visited San Diego. We were here with 3 older teenagers and they loved the house and the city as well. The rooftop table and grill were put to good use - what a treat to be able to see both the ocean and the bay while dining! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the whole house was very clean. We used the laundry facilities quite a bit, so they were an appreciated feature. It was also nice to have beach chairs to use. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to be near the ocean and feel like they are home as well!

Stayed over Labor Day and was great. Closer to the beach then we expected. Looking forward to staying there again. Balcony was much larger then we also expected with a great view of the ocean. Nancy was great to deal with and will do more renting from her in the future.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the 720 Jersey Ct. rental and it exceeded our expectations! This spacious rental was immaculate and had a large balcony with a gorgeous view of the ocean. We look forward to staying there again next summer!
