We had a great time. Very relaxing. Loved having the use of the pool and sauna. Kitchen with amenities was wonderful. Bonus for the portable cooler for day trips and bringing lunches. Highly recommend this place.
Loved our stay here, the pool and spa were fantastic, no more than a 30 min drive from everywhere we wanted to go but felt like we were out in the countryside away from it all.Great communication from the host making the whole process stress free, we will definitely be looking at an another longer stay in the future.
The Safari Cabin is a beautiful, relaxing place to stay. It has a lot of room and is well stocked to make your stay feel like home. Sandy is fantastic and very helpful. Will stay here again when back in San Diego
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very nice home in a great location. I wouldn't hesitate to book it again in the future. The property is beautiful. Our family had a great time in San Diego and this home is a short drive to all major attractions in the area.
So welcoming with lots of entertainment opinions.The pool and landscaping is absolutely gorgeous. The guys in our family had a "golf tournament" that got quite funny and competitive.Lots of good memories made.
Very cute safari themed one bedroom! Fully stocked! Has everything you need and then some. Great location for us while visiting family. Would absolutely stay here again!
Property was clean and secure. We were impressed with how nicely provisioned it was. Sandy (owner) was available but not intrusive. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend.
I really enjoyed my stay at the safari cabin. It’s in a quiet, safe area which was important to me as a solo traveler. The cabin itself was spotless and well-stocked. The outdoor spaces are wonderful and I’m bummed that I didn’t have time to use the pool. Sandy and her husband were gracious hosts. I would definitely stay here again!
This property was a perfect place to stay for our family’s San Diego vacation! Spacious for my wife and I and our two sons. We were given full access to the large front and back yards with putting green and pool and spa. The host was wonderful- helpful and open to communication. We loved our stay and look forward to going back!
My son and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin!! Sandy was so kind and accommodating. The property is beautiful and quiet. The cabin comes equipped with anything you’d need. It was so clean and comfortable. And the location is really central to anything fun in San Diego. Thank you Sandy!!
The Safari Cabin is in a lovely location surrounded by beautiful trees and blooming plants. It is attached to the main house and is set up very well for privacy. The hosts are gracious and friendly. The pool and hot tub are really nice and the hosts are accommodating regarding guests using them. We had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. So much nicer than staying in a hotel! Plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. It was a great spot for watching birds. We saw a really nice variety of songbirds. Going up to the top of Mt. Helix was very cool and so close! We would stay there again if we return for another visit to the area.
Dad and I stayed in the safari cabin to play some golf and watch my son play in a soccer tournament! Cabin is super clean, quiet, pool and hot tub are outstanding! Did some chipping and putting on the greens in the yard. Was well stocked with many spices and condiments, which was great! Having the coffee pods stocked was a nice plus! Communication with Sandy was great! Will stay again!
This was a Serene, beautiful property with all of the amenities one would need. The Soap in the shower smelled delicious. The hot tub was wonderful. There were games available, and many snacks. They even had bottled water on the counter and in the fridge upon our arrival, which was nice to have since we hadn't gone to the store yet. The bed was comfortable. The host was available for any needs. We will definitely be back.
We loved our stay! Our hosts comunicated very well and respected our privacy (my family and I mostly keep to ourselves). The Safari Cabin was super clean and organized and was extremely well stocked with anything you might need and more! The master bed was like sleeping on a cloud so very comfortable. My 9 year old daughter slept like a log on the fold out couch and told me she never wants to stay in a hotel again. Check in and check out was very easy and we will be staying at Sandy's the next time we visit San Diego. If you want comfort and quality sleep this place is for you.
Enjoyed our stay with full access to the pool and spa
Our stay at the safari cabin was great. The rooms are bigger than they seem, and our boys truly enjoyed having full access to the pool on a daily basis. Other than 1 day where we went to Legoland, we spent almost all our other time at the property swimming or resting in between with shows. We also loved the putting greens, rope swing, and my youngest loved digging in the sand of the horseshoe pit, which are all on the property grounds. The owners were easy to communicate with and was very friendly. They never hesitated to provide us with anything to make our stay more comfortable. We’ll be back!
I stayed here with my mom and two children (5 years and 7 years). We had the greatest time! The home is beautiful and has just everything that you would ever dream to have. The beds are so comfy, even the pull out bed!! We didn't spend much time at the house, but we did use the pool/hot tub and sitting area one day. They had great floats and toys for the kids to enjoy and the backyard is just so beautiful you could tell you were on vacation staying here. The owners had the sweetest little dog (Roxy) who visited with us, so that was also a huge plus for dog lovers like us! There is so much for kids to enjoy without leaving the place as well: tree rope, horseshoes, golf putting green/sand traps! We felt very safe here and also had privacy. 10/10 would recommend this property and we would love to come back and stay again!
Excellent location to San Diego by car about 25 minutes but we took the train in and enjoyed not being in traffic.
The Safari Cabin had such cute decor. It was fully stocked with everything you need plus some. Very clean.
The grounds were very lush and green, exactly like the pictures. Beautiful property.
The only disappointment for us was the heater in the pool was not turned on and it was very cold. San Diego had an excessive heat warning while we were there for 9 days. We were only able to take quick dips but couldn’t enjoy the pool. We had brought it to Sandy’s attention but for some reason was never turned on during our 9 day stay.
Overall we would definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Our visit to San Diego was made magical by our stay in this Safari Cabin. Hands-down, this was the best rental we’ve ever stayed in, and we will definitely book this cabin the next time we plan a visit to San Diego. Sandy and Paul thought of everything a family could need when vacationing: a myriad of toiletries and condiments and pantry items, kitchen tools and appliances, spare towels and blankets, board games, play dough, puzzles, office supplies, a cooler for the beach, and more. The shower was spacious and comfortable with great water pressure. The table surfaces had glass tops (yay for not worrying about children and coasters!). My husband and I slept on the pull out sofa in the great room so that we could stay up late being adults and I could make my morning coffee without waking the children. We placed the mattress topper from the bedroom onto the sofa bed, and it made the sofa bed extremely comfortable. This rental is also pretty close to some great places: Sarita’s Taco Shop and Santa Sophia Catholic Church. Per my husband: I felt like I was at a resort, but private. The grounds were beautiful and lush, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. You picked good. Per my seven year old: My favorite thing about the safari cabin was the hot tub and water gun. I liked the beautiful cheetah, leopard, and tiger stuffies. Per my six year old: My favorite part was the rope swing! (Verified. It was very difficult to keep her off the rope swing.) Thank you, Sandy and Paul!
