Lovely, spacious home & wonderful location!

We loved the location of this property! 10 minutes to the beach and we were able to go to the San Diego Zoo and/or Safari Park almost everyday we were there even during “rush hour” which compared to other cities doesn’t seem to really be a thing. My kids really loved the goldfish as well. Thank you Helen for being a very communicative host!

Wonderful home for family vacation

We had a wonderful stay with family at Helen's lovely home. The house was perfect for our multigenerational group, and we especially appreciated the thoughtful touches for families including a stepstool for the bathroom sink, kid-friendly plates, and plenty of toys and games. (And the kids especially loved their room with bunk beds!) The property was spotless and Helen was incredibly responsive as a host. It's a fantastic location, right near plenty of grocery stores and a short drive to the beach. We would be thrilled to stay here again next time we're in town!
