Very spacious and clean - we had a great stay! The pool area was fantastic, beds were comfortable, plenty of silverware and plates. Host communicated well.
I don’t like giving bad reviews but we were disappointed with several things. A property booklet would have been helpful. The front yard needed care. The windows filthy. Broken tub stopper in one bathroom, no batteries in the big clock or carbon monoxide monitor. Broken ice maker in the freezer. Also we were afraid to make any noise in the evening because of an abundance of signs threatening expulsion.We had a nice time watching movies by the fire pit and inside. Many large beds for couples. For the cost of this rental I expected better.
Very fun VRBO to stay at - paid for the pool to be heated and got good use out of the back yard. I'd say its bigger than the pictures make it look like.
Great for large groups. Lots of backyard fun. Wish pool was heated w/o extra charge.

Our listing shows there is an extra charge to heat the pool, so Nancy was aware of this before booking. We provided beautiful home and an excellent experience for Nancy and her guests. It's a shame she chose to give us a 4 star review for something she knew about ahead of time.
We were 2 families that enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and very spacious. Our favorite thing was the backyard. There was so much to do and it as a great space to relax after long days of sightseeing.
Property was as described. Everyone enjoyed the pool, grill and outdoor space. Kevin was very prompt to respond back. Great location. Beds were comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here
Beautiful property, even better than in photos! Easy to get to, accessible via freeways. Great house and backyard for group gatherings, large driveway for multiple cars with no parking issues! Loved it!! Kevin was a great host!!
Backyard was great. The pool and slide were nice. Had some issues with the hottub, but someone came and looked at it promptly. The games outside were great for the family. Bedrooms were adequate. We ran out of serving spoons for Thanksgiving dinner, but otherwise well stocked. Plenty of towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent/dish soap.
Quick and easy to get to all of the attractions. House was great for the family, a lot to do while hanging out. Only downside was we couldn't use the waterslide because it was too rough. Left scrapes on the kids. Otherwise this place was great and we would stay again
This house was perfect for our group. 5 rooms with beds. Clean bathrooms. The pool was very nice and the outdoor activities were a bonus. It was nice to sit in the backyard by the fire pit and have coffee or a beer. House was very spacious and accommodated us nicely. My only suggestion would be ceiling fans for the rooms, but other than that, a perfect stay. I would absolutely love to come back again. – House is close to SD Downtown. Maybe a 15 drive. Easy access to the freeway and a Target + Mall is literally 3 min away.
My group of 10 had the perfect space!! The pool table and the outside fire pit kept the young adults entertained!! The heated pool and putt-putt kept the little ones entertained!! The sunken in sitting area was the spot for myself and my husband!!!!
The house was as pictured, if not better!
The neighborhood was quiet.
If I had to say something that was needed, it would be: some type of tub grippers. Shower time for everyone was an event. I would absolutely recommend this property!

Thanks Kim for the great review. So happy you enjoyed your stay. We'd love to have you back. Thanks for the great suggestion.
Rented this place for a small bachelor party get-together with 10 people. Most of our rowdiness was spent in downtown SD (15-20 min away), so we had no issues keeping noise levels down. The house had plenty of beds and a spacious living room. We spent most of our time in the backyard though. The outdoor living area and grill was fun to watch sports and take a break from the sun. The saltwater pool/spa was amazing. It was 65-70F during our stay so we had no need to heat it. Kevin was very attentive (he even let us check-in early!) and messaged us a few times throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. Overall 10/10 experience would definitely rent this house again for a large group.
Super cute home that can accommodate large parties of people. There were only 4 of us, plus our dogs, and so we only used half of the house! It is located in a low key, quiet neighborhood, but you are around the corner from a Westfield Shopping Center, and anywhere from 10-30 min drive to anything you may want to do in the San Diego area. The best part of the home is the backyard: great patio area with TV and grill, and a lovely salt water pool with slide and jacuzzi. Since we had our dogs with us, we stayed in for most of our stay, and everyone still had a great time. Owner is very responsive. We had a day in which the AC wasn't working properly, and with temperatures rising, we contacted him and he had someone out right away to fix it.
