The house worked great for us. The skunk in the backyard was a issue. But the house is all locked up, except the upstairs master window lock is broken. And the back patio door is installed wrong so it does not lock at all which was concerning. Other we had a great stay, thank you.

Thank you! We have never seen a skunk in the 10 years we have owned the house but I can imagine that was startling! The French doors are tricky to operate but in the welcome video we show how to operate and close/lock them.. just need to lift up on the handles to set the bolts!
Eric was very hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay and the house was clean! Hooray!!

Thank you so much, Paul! It was a pleasure hosting you and your group for such a special celebration. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the home, the spaces, and the location. You were wonderful guests, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
My family and I stayed at the property for our daughter's wedding in San Diego. The house was perfect for us. Ample rooms and restrooms. Very spacious and wide open. The game area was great entertainment for our guests. The yard was perfect for my sister in-law's dog. The host was very understanding and responsive any time I had a question. I would definitely recommend this place if you're heading to San Diego.

Thank you so much, Jonathan! We’re honored you chose our home for such a special occasion. It means a lot to hear that the space worked perfectly for your family during your daughter’s wedding weekend. We’re glad the game area and yard added to the experience—and that your sister-in-law’s dog felt at home too! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. You’re welcome back anytime!
Our stay was overall great with this property and allowed for our entire group to have individual beds and not feel terribly crowded. Accordingly to many in San Diego the weekend we were there happened to be the hottest days in a while this led to the AC units having to work overtime even with the hosts willingness to turn on the A/C prior to our arrival the property was warm especially downstairs after adjusting the temp to be even lower we were able to feel an impact in all the upstairs rooms just not downstairs which confusingly only has a heating thermostat did not get below 82 degrees even after keeping the temperature at 69-72 degrees all weekend. The only other issue we had with the property was the downstairs hall way bath was clogged up and water draining in the shower took a while I believe this is an easy fix as the host can just clear the drain. Aside from these hiccups the property is just as described and the hosts are very responsive we were able to easily find everything we needed and use the space for our large group without hassle. The property was very cool with an amazing outdoor space and game area with ping pong and pool! We used the grill and everything worked great!

Thank you for your feedback! Yes drain cleaned easy fix! Our apologies about the heat that week! It was unusually warm and the Ac was having a hard time keeping up with the heatwave that week! We did have it serviced right after and it’s been working great! Otherwise we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we welcome you back anytime!
