House is located behing a front house (I must have missed this in the description) so it is a long way to move your stuff from the car. No bath or shower mats, no safety rails in shower. Smoke alarm hanging from ceiling by wires, no electrical coverplate on outlet by internet router. The house was very clean, and a lot of thought was used on accessories to leave in the home.

Just Perfect!

Mary's little guesthouse was perfect for us! It had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed and lovely shower, as well as being cheerful and roomy. It was tucked into the back of the property, which provided quiet and privacy.

This property was such an amazing find for our visit to San Diego! It felt like a home away from home. The host, Mary, made sure to check in throughout the trip to make sure we had everything we needed. The home was updated, in a quiet neighborhood, and a short drive to Downtown San Diego. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Short visit to see our family

Mary and Jerome provided the best in accommodations, service and hospitality. Special bonus was the great meal Mary prepared for our family of seven. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, easy access to activities of hiking going to the beach or just sitting and reading. Would recommend to anyone looking to relax and enjoy some peace.

Excellent hosts. It’s clear they want you to have a relaxed stay and comfortable stay.The house is the best of over 20 different houses we’ve rented. Immaculately clean, quiet and plenty of room. One of the reasons we like to rent a house is so that we can cook. All you need is already in place: more appliances than the average home, plenty of plates, bowls and utensils. Spices and other routine ingredients are all there. The knives are even sharp!This is the second time we’ve rented this house and are looking forward to returning next year.Thank you, Jerome and Mary for such a great home away from home.

Fantastic oasis away from home

The property was amazing. Very clean, updated. The owner was such a gracious host. The aromas of her fruit trees and garden was a wonderful surprise. Very quiet neighborhood, lots of morning calls from a variety of birds each day. The entire back patio was all ours which was a nice surprise. Would definitely stay again.

Christmas visit

The property is beautiful and quiet with lots of thoughtful little touches to make your stay comfortable and very clean. Lots of places to plug in devices. Beautiful decorations. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. I was visiting relatives nearby for Christmas and needed a place to stay. There are restaurants and a grocery store and Starbucks within walking distance if needed.

Hidden Gem

What a fantastic place! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The guest house was very clean and well-appointed. The neighborhood is quiet and the home feels secluded. Mary has done a great job decorating the space to make it feel cozy and inviting. We loved getting up every morning, sitting outside drinking our morning coffee on our own garden patio listening to the trickling fountain and keeping warm by the fire pit. Wish we could have stayed longer, and will certainly stay here again!

Best one yet!

I've stayed in quite a few short term rentals and this one is the tops. It was exceptionally clean. The furnishings were good quality and attractive. There were plenty of condiments and cooking supplies. The hosts were easily available and friendly, fixed the one problem I had (batteries were dead on one of the remotes) immediately. The garden in front is beautiful, and the back area (where I stayed) is attractive and quiet. I definitely hope to stay here every time I am in the area.

Private Gust House

To start it off, I think that the little guest house is Wonderful and Very Very Clean. The pictures do it justice, however, when you walk into the place it SPARKLES. My Wife and I could not ask for a better place to stay. The Location was Excelent and close to the highway, shopping and most of all, really close to where our Son and Family live. Again, could not ask for a better place to stay. Very quite. The Hosts are very pleasant and fun to talk with.

Excellent Hideaway

We visited San Diego to visit family and friends. We chose this location because we are familiar with the area. It is easy access to the freeway, yet in a quiet neighborhood. You can get around San Diego easily from the property. It had everything you would need for a few days, or of a couple of months. We were amazed at how complete the kitchen was. And, the patio was wonderful to sit outside in a secluded setting and have coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. This will now be our go to place when we visit SD.

I would definitely stay here again!

The hosts at this property go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Jerome met me on my arrival and showed me to the house which is in a very private spot at the back of the property. Mary even made us a home-cooked meal of delicious Indian food (delivery by Jerome)! The house was very clean and beautifully furnished. There was a patio with comfy chairs and a fire pit. The kitchen had every small appliance you could possibly need and was very well stocked with spices and cooking tools. The adjustable bed was incredibly comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and there was a shopping area with several good restaurants just a 15 minute walk away (about three minutes by car). It also had super easy access to CA-94 to get to the downtown area, airport, beaches, and the San Diego Zoo (about 20 minutes). I highly recommend a stay here!
