This house exceeded our expectations! The house was spotless and very clean. We loved the spacious backyard with its stunning view. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for a relaxing and memorable stay!
This is a beautiful home and property, that is a perfect communal space if you have a larger family or group of friends. We loved sitting in the outdoor patio area and looking at the view. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was very quiet. We would absolutely stay here again.
Our second stay in six months and this place once again does not disappoint. Perfect location, very clean, great appliances, a responsive host, and perfect for dogs!!
We live in San Diego and needed a place for the weekend while our house was an open house. We loved the quiet cul de sac, easy check in, tons of space, and large fenced in yard. We brought our two large dogs which was a requirement for our rental choice, and really appreciate that the host doesn’t limit weight on pets. I think our dogs loved the yard more than we did! The kitchen had everything we could need, we were super comfortable, and enjoyed a good nights sleep with no noise from neighbors or busy roads. We added on an extra night mid stay and the host was very accommodating (and we were super grateful)! We would rent here again and recommend it. My boys (1.5 and 5) loved the games provided, the dinosaurs, and the duck in the bathtub. My husband enjoyed the hot tub! Thank you Shannon!
This was one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at. Host was super nice and responsive. The property was clean and had all the amenities. Well stocked kitchen. Great hot tub, fire chat area and great view over the city. Highly recommend. Will rebook when back in San Diego.
Excellent experience all around. The host was helpful and accommodating. The property was perfect for our family, was well taken care of and had everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend.
Very nice property in a very nice and quiet neighbood. Everything was as described in the listing and we had no complaints! We would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay in this big yet cozy home. It had everything we could have ever needed for cooking a holiday meal. Our dogs loved the big yard and room to run around. The home was exactly as described and detailed instructions were communicated well.Shannon was available for help should we have needed it even though it was a holiday as well. Perfect stay at a wonderful home.
We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect and close to where we wanted to be. The kitchen was well organized and had everything we needed. Plenty of space. The floor plan was open and spacious, we never felt crowded in. It was an excellent house. Thank you to Shannon for being a great host, she was easy to contact and responded quickly. Would definitely stay there again. We were traveling with my elderly parents, and it was great being able to share a house that was so inviting and easy for them to get around in.
This is a great dog-friendly place to stay! Tierrasanta is the perfect location - everything (beach, downtown, etc.) is within a 15-20 minute drive. The furnishings and appliances at the place are really nice. The best part though is the large, fenced backyard area which is a great place for your pups to roam!
The house is wonderful and the outdoor spaces and view are fabulous. The property owner was kind and communicated with us throughout the process. We would definitely recommend!
Probably the best place we have stayed at. The owner is very communicative. Beautiful view from the property and great location. We would definitely come back.
Enjoyed our stay very much. Great location and wonderful space. Amazing amenities... perhaps the best stocked kitchen we have ever experienced. Love the outdoor space, so relaxing. Will gladly stay here again.

This was the perfect destination to end our 1,500 mile West Coast adventure. Our accomodations were just the relaxing end we needed. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and the view out the backyard was outstanding!Shannon was a great hostess and we would love to visit again!

About the host
Hosted by Shannon Rose
Well, I am new to hosting. However, I have always loved taking care of other people to make them feel good. I am looking forward to learning what people who visit my home would find additional comfort in. We all have a story and we don't all know each others story. I look forward to learning about you too and how I can improve the experience for you or others.
Why they chose this property
Tierrasanta is known as the "Island in the Hills". You almost don't have to leave Tierrasanta if you don't want to. There is great sushi, a fun and authentic mexican restaurant, Italian, pizza, a couple of grocery stores, Starbucks, several gas stations and a small tight knit community with a military presence as well.
What makes this property unique
I was born and raised in the Bay Area of California. I came to San Diego for the first time in college, where I met many lifelong friends. Just before the pandemic, I lost one of my best friends. And then during the pandemic, the house right next door to her husband and son came on the market, and I decided to buy it. I travel back and forth between the Bay Area and San Diego, working from both locations. And this home is the home that I have cared for, while also providing care and support the best I can, to her family, who all live in Tierrasanta.
