We loved the house, it had what we needed & was clean. The pool was amazing & perfect for our family vacation. We liked the location of the house it was close to what we needed. Would stay again. The management team was great with communication.
Just easy, nice pool, toys available, close to all the fun destinations. I would totally stay in this house again. The property managers were amazing!!
The overall stay was great. House is beautiful. Nice pool.
Probably won’t use Vrbo again. Too many fees make the trip much more expensive. Better to stay at hotel for smaller parties.
Really nice black bottom pool that stayed really warm, the backyard is sheltered from the wind and gets nice sun throughout the day. The game room was super fun for our kids and the property is well appointed. It didn’t have wine glasses and I sent the property manager a note asking if they were somewhere I couldn’t see and they dropped off some new ones since they weren’t there, same day. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels too
Not bad but I’d chose a different location next time
The house provided everything we needed but was missing the X factor. The pool was too cold to enjoy to its fullest. The space provided was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Shower temp and pressure were great. Kitchen had everything we need. Floors were very dirty - could not walk around with bare feet without turning feet black. The request from owners to not be outside at all before 9 am or after 9 pm seems unreasonable. Hubby and I love a cup of coffee or glass of wine outdoors at these times. Walls were a sterile unwelcoming white and all furniture seemed IKEA. Just not very homey. We loved the games in the garage. The biggest drawback was the location. Far from beach and houses were tightly packed. It was convenient to attractions like the zoo. I wouldn’t stay here again but it served us just fine.
This place was absolutely perfect, the back yard was amazing for children. Felt like our own little piece of paradise! Location was perfect, walking distance for groceries and a coffee! Highly recommend, the owners have thought of everything, the Pool guy was also awesome for advice! Definitely wanna go back!
Every thing you could think of and more in a Cali property! The hotel looked like I would expect a home in SOCal to be. It was just outside of all things San Diego. I will stay again!
Accurate, clean and all the supplies for a great stay
Great property, had coffee, spices and all the essentials that you don't want to purchase. Plenty of nice linen and overall great space to chill. NOTE: The pool was too cold even for my Michigan kids. Know that it is advertised as solar heated, which doesn't get it above 65 during the winter months. Still, great place! Thanks.
This house was perfect for our family vacation. We enjoyed that it was nestled into a quiet neighborhood but minutes away from all the great places that San Diego has to offer.
The features of the house were well designed for relaxation. We enjoyed the open floor plan which was very attractive. The house was very well equipped. Our favorite space was the beautifully landscaped backyard. It had lots of privacy and the pool was a so extremely pleasant.
This is a great house central to many things to do in San Diego. The process was simple and we were given the house rules so that we knew what to expect. We will definitely stay here again.
The property was very easy to get to and perfectly located for visits to the zoo, SeaWorld and Sesame Place. We made it out to the beach as well. Having a heated pool made it great because my kids love the water. Great experience for the whole family.
We stayed here for a week and enjoyed every moment. Not only was the house clean but it had everything you could need and it was also beautiful. The pool provided endless fun. The backyard is everything the photos show and more. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors very friendly. The service provided was met and exceeded expectations. We would definitely recommend this home and would book again when we visit San Diego again.
This place is amazing! It had everything I needed for my family. A beautiful backyard area to grill and chill in the sun and pool. A large kitchen area to cook and enjoy meals as a family and to even work. Powerful, reliable internet - enough to satisfy my teenager's thirst for data and my work requirements! The location is central to everything in San Diego - restaurants, beaches, attractions, and sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. I highly recommend this property for families or anyone else looking to escape the cold and work in a great city!!
Highly recommended - the property was really great - comfortable and in a cute neighborhood. House has all the amenities needed and then some - including a great pool for keeping kids occupied while the adults relax. Close to great restaurants and activities, downtown, Zoo, etc. VRBO team was great - will definitely be back to stay again.
