Clean, spacious little home

This place was great! Very clean and open spaces in each room. Very comfortable and has everything you would need. Olga was super friendly and informative. Located in a smaller neighborhood with some/little street parking. Parking in the private driveway was perfect for our 2 cars. Great place to stay, would stay again!

Great Gem

It was a great and safe location. Mountain 2 minutes away with a trail to hike. Something different. I'm glad we tried it. Had a great time playing soccer while we were at the property. Close to everything. About a 20 minute drive to the strip.

LA MESA, SAN DIEGO CA

We were comfortable & fully enjoyed our vacation because of the comfort of staying in a house instead of a hotel. Olga our host was readily available, easy to contact for all our inquiries and needs. Surely, we will not stay in a hotel anymore especially for an entire family vacation. Thank you.

Comfortable and Flexible Housing

Extremely beautiful interior with extensive different appliances and utilities. It had AC/Heating, great ventilation, plenty of windows and natural lighting and a nice living room set up. Owner was super flexible and very kind. One of the best VRBO stats I've ever had. If I was in the SD area again, I'd highly recommend for the customer service, communication, house, and location.
