Myself, my husband, our three young kids, and my mother in law stayed at this property for two nights prior to going on a cruise out of the Port of San Diego. It was just supposed to be a pit stop on the way to the "real" vacation, but ended up being a highlight of our trip! It was in such a nice and unique neighborhood - quiet, great for going on walks, and all of the houses in the neighborhood were so unique. The property had a beautiful back yard with a large variety of plant life that made sitting outside with a coffee even more enjoyable. The house itself was very clean and very spacious. I had not been expecting as much room as it had, it was so nice to have plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed, and the garage was a favorite place for my kids to hang out and play with all the games. It was an unusually hot weekend in Southern California (105) and the AC kept us perfectly cool the whole time. Check in was easy breezy, and I had all the info I needed well ahead of time. The location also seemed to be relatively close to anything we wanted to go to, and the market (walkable distance!) was an added bonus that made meals extremely easy. I hope to stay here again sometime for a longer duration!

Great stay in SD

We had a fabulous time staying in SD. This home was perfect for our family ( two adults and two kiddos aged 4 and 8). Plenty of room and well stocked. We loved the location as it was only 15-20 min away from all of our adventures( Zoo, beach, USS Midway). The host was easy to communicate with and helpful. We will definitely look at staying here again our next trip to SD 🤗

Great Family Vacation

The layout was great with yard and great game room for groups. The place is very updated, and had plenty of dishes and towels. The communication was great with the property manager - she responded quickly and sent over needed supplies like toilet paper and dish soap. Location was close to plenty of vegan options for this vegan family. Highly recommended!

Great property!

House was just as described, very comfortable beds, room for everyone and had everything we needed. Our granddaughters loved the game room and all the outdoor games too. The location was perfect, a great neighborhood and convenient to everything. 20 min to the beach, downtown and all the sites. Taco King right around the corner was a hit too with an easy walk and great food. Will stay here again when in San Diego.

Loved our visit

A great home that was perfect for us. Plenty of room and just plain beautiful home. Best (for us) was the location - 5 minutes from our new grandson. This house gave us a wonderful opportunity to go everywhere we wanted. Minutes from everything. Beds were just so comfortable, especially the bunk bed. My grandson who lives with us not wants that in his room Nice outside deck and table. When we go backwe will want to stay here.

Del Cerro Lifesaver

Thank you so much, your home was just perfect for our needs. We needed an interim place to stay in the neighborhood while we moved out of our home and prepared to move. I needed somewhere where my elderly mother and our two cats would be comfortable ... your house was just what we needed. The location is perfect, we could walk to Windmill Farms for groceries and pick up tacos at El Torro. Your house was well appointed and we had everything we needed for an easy stay. Thank you so much!!

Perfect Location Perfect House For Us

We only had 4 family members stay here but i can see how it would more then comfortably fit a few more. There was plenty of room for all of our friends and family to come visit us. The game room was a blast and the little room off the house was perfect for the younger adults to catch up. We stayed 8 nights and made dinner 5 of those nights + Thanksgiving! It was wonderful! The house feels like “home”. It was very clean. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Kim was quick to respond to any and all of my questions. She is very kind and generous and it shows in this home. I can’t wait to stay here next time I’m in town to visit friends and family.

Perfect stay with extended family

This is a great property. Just right for our family. Very clean with many amenities and close to a great pizza and Mexican take-out. Also a nice restaurant and market. Beds were very comfy and the kitchen and great-room is set up for enjoyment and entertaining. We loved the open concept and the garage was just super for a little family competition. The house has easy access to the freeway and is just a couple a minutes to SDSU. We have stayed in a number of vacation houses around the world and this was the best!
