The home is beautiful, very clean, provided everything we needed even coffee filters! Pretty view of San Diego. After doing typical tourist things we looked forward to returning to the home, opening the floor to ceiling sliding doors, sitting on the deck with our wine and enjoying the view.

This is a lovely home and well furnished with everything you would need to be comfortable. Located in a quiet neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed the large patio area that completely opens up off the living/kitchen area. And a view! Our bed was extremely comfortable. The owner, Ron, was very accommodating and responsive. We had no issues, only a few questions. I highly recommend.

To start with Ron was wonderful. Answered all of my questions before I arrived. Check in was smooth as silk and the place is wonderful! Our kids met us there for a week vacation and it truly does feel like a home away from home! The steam oven is AWESOME! Never saw one before. Besides the great hospitality - it is in a perfect location and close to everything - airport, zoo, seaworld, shopping, groceries, restaurants! We had a lot of fun and when back in San Diego we will definitely stay here again! Thanks Ron!

We had a fantastic time at Ron’s house! It was just as beautiful as the pictures show, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Ron kept us updated with clear check-in and check-out instructions, making everything easy. We were very pleased with all the amenities that made our stay comfortable.The highlight was definitely the stunning views from the deck and the accordion slider doors that opened across the entire living room—it felt so relaxing to sit in the fresh air and take it all in.I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting San Diego!
Gorgeous view from the deck…

Hi, I'm a long time San Diego resident who rents his wonderful house when I'm out of town. I've lived in several areas of San Diego so can help you with your local activities.

Twenty minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to the beaches of Mission Bay, 15 minutes to Sea World (you can actually see it from the house) and 5 minutes to the restaurant/bar area of Pacific Beach. Large spacious deck with amazing views.

What makes this property unique
