Very nice p!ace. Perfect for two, but could accommodate two more on sofa in living room. Plenty of kitchen supplies.Host is very responsive to any request or issue. Pet friendly, however as someone with pet allergies, there was no sign of a previous renter with a pet.Nicely decorated and peaceful surroundings. Would return, if in the area again.
The host, Chris, was so helpful. The place was so peaceful and comfortable. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Kitchen was nicely equipped. Will for sure stay again.Barbara
We had a great stay here. The property was beautiful, clean and quiet. We slept comfortably each night, enjoyed using the kitchen for breakfast and dinner when we weren’t out, and it was a perfect homebase as we explored San Diego. Our host Chris recommended the trolley tour and we really enjoyed it. We played battleship, which was one of many games they kept available. We would stay here again if we find ourselves in the area.
The spacious guest house is in a private, quiet area. The grounds are beautiful. Check-in was easy. Dog-friendly. The hosts were gracious. I enjoyed my stay in this lovely spot very much.
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.
I could not asked for a better place to stay, this place definitely exceeded all my expectations. San Diego adjacent the host were great, very friendly and communication was great. Will stay here again on my next trip if they will have me.
Everything was so beautiful and set up for extra levels of comfort! They were accommodating when we changed our guest number last minute and were so nice to talk with! Would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed staying at this property.
The host went above and beyond ensuring we were comfortable. Very peaceful setting, will definitely stay again.
This is a lovely little house with everything you need to stay . Beautiful view and comfy beds and a pool! Great experience all around. Owners are very kind and helpful!
Really beautiful guesthouse in a stunning location. The house was fully equipped with all the comforts. Nice pool. The internet connection was not very stable.
We loved the property and where the guest house was located. Everything we needed was there. Nice and friendly property owners plus loved the 2 dogs. When we go back to El Cajon we hope this property is available.
Beautiful inside and out. Hosts were welcoming and accomodating. Gave us great suggestions for sightseeing, like the old town trolley and coronado dog beach. We had everything we needed there for our 3 night stay
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.
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!
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 relaxing stay at this beautiful property. The bed was super comfortable , plenty of towels and housewares. Communication with the host was great. Definitely recommend!
