Fabulous rental with everything one needs. It is close to the freeway and airport so light sleepers may struggle but we had not problem with it. Loved its proximity to so many things.

This place is great! Yes, it’s by the airport. Yes, you can hear the planes. But overall, this place exceeds all the noise and everything. It’s just a great place. Pictures don’t do it justice. Smart home, bidets are something you don’t think you need until you have them. We visit every couple of years, so we hope this place is in our budget so we can stay here again.

Beautiful Property

We had an amazing stay! The views from both inside and outside the house were absolutely breathtaking. The property was spotless, well-maintained, and made for a comfortable stay. We couldn’t have asked for more, and we will definitely recommend this place to others. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

Great Place!

Myself and family had an amazing stay here. Super close to the Marine base! The whole reason we were here is to get see are youngest graduate from the Marine Corps. It was the perfect place! Very nice, super clean and had everything we need plus more! Definitely recommend this house to stay at especially if you want to be close to the base! We enjoyed our stay so much!

The BEST view and access to MCRD

This place was way better than a hotel for us. 5 occupants Wed and Thurs with 3 more Friday. I wish we had booked glints on Sungai so qe could enjoy the place more. Impeccable! Comfortable! Minutes from the gate, eats and stores for incidentals nearby. No problem with parking at all. 10/10 would stay again!

Beautiful house

The house was great and well decorated. Close to the airport and Marine depot. Lots of games to entertain yourself. The only thing that needs improvement is the beds, they are too firm. Would wake up sore back and neck. Maybe a pillow top would help comfort. Overall I would stay there again.

Sam diego 3 day weekend

Nice house, little trouble with the lock throughout our stay. I wouldn't necessarily say the house is within walking distance of really anything if that is what you are looking for. Nice location between downtown and mission beach, but you definitely need a car! Also parking on the street can be very cumbersome!

My Son Graduated Bootcamp

My oldest boy became a Marine and we visited to attend the ceremony. We are a family of 8. My wife and I and six kids. Everyone is close in age and are all teenagers. Since one of my boys is in a wheelchair, we were huge fans of the handicap accessibility! Also, the layout felt spacious and the large kitchen was exactly what we needed. The playful amenities kept my kids entertained and asking to come back. They loved the tent and fire pit at the bottom of the property. We are hoping my other son that is joining the Navy in July has bootcamp in San Diego so we can visit this property again! It’s a 10 out of 10 for a family like ours!

Stay here - you wont regret it. This property was next level. The pictures on the site were spot on. It was immaculate, clean and spacious. The Hot tub was such a nice way to end our day. Everything was state of the art technology: from the bidet, heated toilets to the giant TV's. All the lighting and switches let you customize your mood. Sound machines in all bedrooms to help you sleep like a baby. The awesome backyard oasis was lovely. We loved it here. We walked to Little Italy (25 minutes) for a great Breakfast and visited a few local restaurants. (Loved Morning Glory). Convenient to airport and the Zoo. I have already recommended this place to a few of my friends. The hosts were very kind and helpful, answered communications swiftly and provided great info for everything. Check in and out was so easy. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for a wonderful experience 😊

San Diego Family vacation

We stayed here with 7 adults and 2 young kids. The house is well-appointed and beautifully furnished with comfortable beds. The views of the bay and airport are great from the picture window and fantastic from the hot tub esp. at night. Close to everywhere you'd like to go and within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Street parking is available in front of the house . Early check in and late checkout were accommodated We initially had an issue with entry into the house due to a new keypad but the communication with the host was quick and responsive And was resolved. We were provided a high chair upon request and staff brought in our delivered packages while we were out. Very responsive hosts. Next time I would rent the entire house since we could have used the extra space for napping young ones. My only suggestions for improvement would be to replace the very creaky bed frame in the back right bedroom and provide secure Wi-Fi. I would definitely rent from these hosts again.
