The property is nice and secluded, we had our dog with us who loved the property. The unit was a great size with a wonderful patio area to enjoy the San Diego weather. We will definitely book the property again.

We stayed here to move our daughter into SDSU. It was close to campus and was perfect for our needs. Timing didn't allow us to enjoy the pool, but it definitely looks nice! The hosts were great to deal with! There was a small plumbing issue with the dishwasher that we contacted the host about and they were over a few hours later to assess the situation and collectively we came up with a game plan for a work around. 10/10 would recommend and would stay there again!

Close To SD With Beautiful Views

The rental was the perfect location for our family of 4. It is close to San Diego, the neighborhood was quiet, and the views were amazing! The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a few more spatulas for cooking, and dusting the air vents in the living room. Overall, it was a good stay and I would recommend!

We had a great time. The guest house was amazing and had a great view. The location was also good and close to shopping, dining, and events. We came for the Alabama Shakes concert. Everything was awesome. The property manager responded to my questions fast. We just wish we had a heads up there was going to be a group of young men having a rather loud pool party. But! It wasnt long and seemed harmless. We would definitely stay again and enjoy the beautiful area. We loved it! Beautiful home! We made sure to keep it immaculate.

Amazing

Our family enjoyed staying here. It had everything we needed. It was very comfortable, clean, and smelled great. My boys wanted to swim here more than any other of the activities in San Diego. The views were great and the outside patio with table was enjoyable to eat outside.

What a gem!

I was born and raised in San Diego, so I know the value of this property. Convenient to so many things yet secluded and quiet. The host were amazing, and very helpful. I'm hesitant to say how happy I am about this property because I don't want others to be there the next time I want to stay! This will definitely be my go to property when staying in San Diego

Sweet House in a Lovely Setting

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The pool was fabulous and an absolute bonus. The location was peaceful and quiet whilst also being within easy reach of all San Diego has to offer. The bed was comfortable, we loved the board games available in the living room, WI-FI was reliable and fast, and the house was spacious enough for our family of four.
