San Diego visit

This property provided an excellent home-base for our family vacation to San Diego. It was clean, comfortable, had great views and was conveniently located (most of our destinations were a quick 15/20 minute drive) and the neighborhood was quite. Check in/out was easy and host was very responsive to questions. Great stay, we'd love to come back someday!

Uncomfortable stay

Very uncomfortable stay with voyeriusm and over the top micromanagement. Property manager was invasive, watched our every move through cameras, and was hyper-critical of requests or questions regarding AC and construction noise across the street through correspondence. The beds were awful and uncomfortable. I have never left a review like this, I have been an avid VRBO renter for over 10 years, and this was my worst experience. I left the property early due to the overall experience of the stay. There was no bathroom on the main floor and stairs everywhere throughout the house. No AC was a bummer, but it is an old house so it comes with the territory. I would not recommend this property whatsoever, especially at the price point.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jan, 2023
As stated clearly in our listing, we have only 1 security camera recording the outside walkway to the front door. There are no cameras in the house or backyard. This guest gave his door code to strangers that used the house when he wasn't there, which is against our policy. Unfortunately this guest made complaints about things out of our control (ie. weather in 70's was too warm for him, neighborhood construction) to get money back and wrote a retaliatory review since we did not provide a refund.

Beautiful property!

Our family had a wonderful time visiting beautiful San Diego and this house was in the perfect location, so close to everything ! The house itself is gorgeous with a well appointed kitchen and the garden and pool area were our favorite. Loads of hummingbirds and butterflies, can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful, Happy Place to Launch Our SD Adventures!

Everything about the house and location were outstanding! Location is ideal for any and all Mission Bay and SD activities. The view is stunning. Breeze is intoxicating and it was a first class experience in every way. I love it when the property is set up so we can get codes in advance and just show up. That was the case here. The ad and description don’t do the house and property justice in my opinion. The renovation was outstanding. It has all the original charm while still feeling new and all upgraded. The Pool was an oasis of solitude, surrounded by beautiful planting’s, flowers and butterflies! We planned an amazing amount of activities and ALL were within a short drive or walk from the house. We have been using VRBO for over a decade an this was in the op properties of all time. We will be back!!!
