Great location, close to everything

We had a great time during our stay. This location is back in a neighborhood but is close to everything - grocery store, restaurants, seemingly 15 minutes or less from all the attractions. We had a couple of minor issues (pool heating, grill), but the owner was very responsive.

A quiet retreat

A nice comfy home for the friend group that is seeking a break from the city and quiet bonding time. Pool was a highlight and lots of indoor activities available: baking, board games. A good distance from city life that can enjoy some time in gaslamp or little Italy but will have a good place to retreat back to.

Had a good time with the exception of not having a working air conditioner during a heatwave. Days inside the house got to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Not pleasant. However, the house was clean, and provided all necessary amenities. Check in was easy. Parking was great on the driveway.

Lovely SD stay

This property is so lovely! The bedrooms are all spacious and cutely decorated. The pool and hot tub are perfection. The private front yard is so tranquil and wonderful for pets. The hosts were super nice and helpful, even allowing me to check in a week early when it turned out I needed to evacuate from the LA fires. So instead of having to cancel I got to just start the vacation early and get away from the stress and smoke in LA, I was so grateful for that! I would absolutely stay here again!

San Diego Property With Pool

The property is in a quiet residential area, a 20 min walk to bars & restaurants. We got an Uber to Old Town for around $10 including tip & $12 back. The pool was good, we didnt need it heated.

Great place for family

Enjoyed our stay. Comfy beds. Pool was a plus, was a hot week we were there! Towels and toys provided. Lots of room to spread out, 4 adults and 3 kids, including a 13 year old had plenty to keep busy. Host very responsive. Coffee bar was appreciated. Nice not to worry if we brought right size filters! Quiet area and room to roam front and back. Close to all major attractions. Easy check in. Would love to stay again!
