Beautiful property!

This was a perfect place for my family of 5. We loved the yard! It is so close to a lot of the San Diego attractions we were visiting. The beds were so comfortable. Kevin proactively messaged us a few different times to make sure we had all the information we needed. Just a perfect stay that made our vacation that much better.

Family San Diego Trip

We stayed a night in San Diego as part of family vacation and this house was close to everything we enjoyed a day at the beach and toured the Midway. The house was 15 minutes from it all. Very cute house and communication was easy and the neighborhood has stores and restaurants within walking distance.

Perfect San Diego getaway

My family and I had a wonderful trip to San Diego and enjoyed our time at Kevin’s house. The house was perfect! Rooms were a good size, loved that they were all queen beds, and the common areas were very large! Beautifully decorated and the backyard was equally as peaceful. We highly recommend this home for a centrally located stay in San Diego. We hope to be back next year!

Great place to stay!

My family and I stayed at Kevin's property over spring break and everything about it was lovely. The backyard was so inviting and wonderfully designed. We enjoyed eating outside and playing with our kids in the yard. The neighborhood was conveniently located with only a 15 minute drive to major tourist destinations. The variety of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance made our stay even more enjoyable. Thanks again!

Best Stay in San Diego!

We visited family over the weekend and found the Cali-Craftsman home to be such a delightful stay. The property had everything we needed, including a spacious backyard to enjoy the summer evenings. The location was close to both downtown and La Mesa where we met up with family. Kevin's style embodied the Cali vibe and he was great at communicating along the way. As a San Diego native, I loved the map in the dining area and the "monkey light." Whimsical fun!

Great spot, amazing back yard.

Place is great, owner is great. Great communication. A few things you should know The driveway isn't that wide. But it's amazing it even has a parking spot in this area and it's long. In order to get to the backyard you have to walk through the back room. But again no big deal just a heads up. Also amazing it has a washer and dryer. Me and my family loved it. Thanks for letting us stay

Loved everything about it

We had 5 in our party, from 19-85. Kevin was fabulous and very responsive to any questions. The yard...oh, the yard...so pretty and green and many spots to get in or out of the sun and play corn hole...with little white lights at night. The house was spotless and pictures are accurate. Super great location to walk around the neighborhood or onto Adams Ave. While we felt the driveway for our minivan rental was just too narrow for our comfort, there was plenty of street parking, for sure! We will be back! ...oh, and the font porch swing - that was great!
