About the host

Hosted by Susan A Brandon

Host profile image
We are native San Diegans retired from law enjoying the hospitality business. We realize how precious vacation time is, and we will ensure your stay at our home is enjoyable and memorable. You will not be disappointed.

Why they chose this property

Fort 2 is well located, managed personally by Susan, and as comfortable as you will ever find in a home away from home. A romantic place for two, or a comfortable home for family vacations. The bedrooms are set apart with ensuite bathrooms...lots of space, and you don't have to share a bathroom.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful lovely home located on a quiet canyon rim with a view of the canyon and San Diego Bay. The deck is a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine or local craft beer in the afternoon while watching the hawks take flight. The home is nicely located in the heart of the city, yet enjoys a peaceful niche with nature in your backyard.
