We loved this property. Clean, beautiful, had amazing views and easy access to airport and the MCRD. We didn't use much but the owners had everything you could possibly need if you were flying in and came with limited luggage. They checked in often and made everything from checking in and out a breeze. I would love to stay here again if we end up in the area again.

Fantastic Property

Absolutely the best, cleanest, most organized VRBO property I’ve ever rented. All communications were easy and quick. Having QR codes throughout the property for assistance and the Renter’s Guide were great. The property itself is superb in all aspects, from cleanliness to amenities to the stunning view of the airport and Bay. We are already planning another stay later this year!

Perfect Getaway..

Beautiful property with an easy check-in process. My flight was a little early so I reached out the property manager who let my family and I check in earlier than scheduled. We did have an issue with the upstairs neighbors being a little loud but management was able to get that squared away. 5 stars from me.

Top Gun Vacation

Close to Little Italy and to my daughter’s place. So that was nice. Farmers market and all the places to eat at were amazing. Daily runs to the pier. Some real steep hills though toward Balboa. Otherwise great location except for the noise when sitting out in the back but enjoyed watching the aircraft at the airport.

Wonderful Stay in San Diego

We were very happy with our 4 night stay in this property. The Rental With A View staff was quick to respond to our communications and allowed us to leave our luggage in a secure room on the property before check-in. The location was perfect for our needs - in a nice neighborhood close to the airport yet high enough to afford a terrific view of the harbor. I love watching airplanes depart and land at airports, and this was the perfect spot to do so. The windows in this property provide excellent insulation from the sound of the airport operations. The property is clean, nicely furnished and well equipped, and I found my bed to be quite comfortable. I love that I've found an alternative to the "usual suspects" when it comes to short term rentals in San Diego.

STUNNING SUNSETS & CLEAN, UPDATED DECOR

This home exceeded our expectations, and we feel the price was quite fair, considering all you get for your money. The kitchen was very recently updated with fresh paint and new counter tops. All the indoor and outdoor furniture (especially the cozy round daybed), was extremely comfortable, new, and clean. The sunsets and panoramic view of the airport and harbor are unforgettable. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening happy hour under the shady patio cover every day of our stay... this was the highlight of our trip. The kitchen was very equipped and necessary essentials are conveniently provided. We wanted to leisurely enjoy the last morning of our stay and the hosts were happy to accommodate by allowing us a little extra time on site, at no additional charge. Once we vacated, I realized I left some camera equipment behind. It was kindly shipped to us, at their expense. We would definitely rent this apartment again and have already passed on the listing to friends that were looking for accommodations in the area.

Quick getaway

We really enjoyed our first visit to San Diego. Your home is in the perfect location, everything we did was within 15-20 mins. Thank you for leaving the binder with so much information on excursions, restaurants, shopping and sights to see. We have stayed at many different places and that is not always offered. The owners were easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had promptly. The home was clean, perfect size and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend and will definitely stay again when in the San Diego area.

Beautiful property in central location

The property is exactly as described and shown in the listing. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of linens provided, basics like toiletries, spices, storage baggies, washing detergent, was provided. Communication with the host was superb. They replied to any questions very quickly and made themselves easily available. The view was breathtaking, and we loved how central the property was to all the places we went to. The walls and ceiling are very thin. We were lucky to have quiet upstairs guests the first half of our stay, but had others that stayed up late the latter part of our stay. We knew all this going in by reading previous reviews. We enjoyed our stay at this property and would recommend it.
