Amazing home

The home was 20-30 mins away from all main areas to visit. Gocery store down the hill on the main street. The home was large and inviting. Beautiful land , pool and patio area were a great spot to relax after a long day out. Family loved it.

Perfect spot for a California vacay

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation to San Diego. The home was beautiful and exactly as described. The check-in process was easy and Dara, the host was an excellent communicator. The neighborhood was very nice and a short drive from San Diego. It was nice to come back to a quiet neighborhood after being in the city all day.We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful Berny’s

Everything about our stay was amazing. The property, the accuracy of the listing, the communication, all of it. Most comfortable and peaceful as heck. Not a single negative about the place or the process.

Berny's needs some work. A good example is that the second you go to load the dishwasher, it just tips out completely. Many of the light switches do nothing, and a good number of the light bulbs were out. You can only use the hot tub from 6-10 pm, which is useless, and this information was not in the listing. Additionally, the front door is unusable, requiring you to walk to the back door, which is just annoying. Lastly, during our stay, the owner unexpectedly arrived, seeking access to the house without prior notice. They said, "We thought you were all gone," implying that they likely have cameras on the property, which they had not disclosed. A real violation of trust.

We were so very pleased with our stay here! The property was exactly as described and photos were spot on. Extremely clean and well-stocked; plenty of room to spread out; had everything we could need; perfect for our long weekend in the San Diego area. Pool, patio area and firepit were awesome; home gym was great, too. Host communication was prompt and polite and helpful .... great hosts! We will not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend to anyone needing a great place to stay!

I’m a Mom, a Realtor of 24 years and an Airbnb and VRBO host.
I’m originally from the Midwest. I moved out to San Diego when I was 16 and never looked back. I love hosting people from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is gorgeous, hilly and eclectic. Tons of fruit trees on the property to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Bang for your buck is Weekend at Berny’s! The house is massive and very comfortable. The large usable grounds make it a standout. We have frisbee golf, a half basketball court, corn hole and a large fire-pit and BBQ area near the pool and jacuzzi. It’s movie star living at regular folk pricing.
