We had a great stay here. The property was beautiful, clean and quiet. We slept comfortably each night, enjoyed using the kitchen for breakfast and dinner when we weren’t out, and it was a perfect homebase as we explored San Diego. Our host Chris recommended the trolley tour and we really enjoyed it. We played battleship, which was one of many games they kept available. We would stay here again if we find ourselves in the area.

We stayed here to move our daughter into SDSU. It was close to campus and was perfect for our needs. Timing didn't allow us to enjoy the pool, but it definitely looks nice! The hosts were great to deal with! There was a small plumbing issue with the dishwasher that we contacted the host about and they were over a few hours later to assess the situation and collectively we came up with a game plan for a work around. 10/10 would recommend and would stay there again!

Close To SD With Beautiful Views

The rental was the perfect location for our family of 4. It is close to San Diego, the neighborhood was quiet, and the views were amazing! The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a few more spatulas for cooking, and dusting the air vents in the living room. Overall, it was a good stay and I would recommend!

Our family enjoyed staying here. It had everything we needed. It was very comfortable, clean, and smelled great. My boys wanted to swim here more than any other of the activities in San Diego. The views were great and the outside patio with table was enjoyable to eat outside.
