The backyard view is the one thing everyone who visits my home talks about. There is a swing to have your coffee, tea or wine on. A couple of oversized hammocks for relaxing. An outdoor couch, with seating in the shade, under the upstairs balcony, centered with a propane firepit as well for those outdoor evenings. We also have a hot tub and a bbq.

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.
