A perfect spot for a multi-generational family getaway! The backyard has something for everyone; the kids couldn't get enough of the heated pool, and the jacuzzi was a huge hit with the parents. Having the late checkout option was the icing on the cake for our Christmas vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at this home in San Diego! It was a perfect fit for our family, and the kids especially loved the pool. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe, which was a huge plus. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would definitely consider staying here again.

Backyard Boogie!

We booked here for the price, pool and hot tub. We loved the backyard. We did have a few issues inside with the water temperature, lights and general supplies but none that the host Nicole did not address right away. My teens had a ball and the movie room was a big hangout and a major hit. I would definitely book this place again.

Fall stay

Group of friends got together for a long weekend. It was a great spot that allowed us to lounge around when we weren't out doing activities. We used all the amenities, including the grill to cook a Cali Tri-tip🤤 The complimentary hot tub hours really made those cool San Diego nights nice.

San Diego Wedding

We stayed here because the wedding was in Chula Vista. It was a very close to the wedding venue. I wished there was a broom or Swifter to help with maintaining the facility. I ended up purchasing a broom and sponge mop to keep up with cleaning the VRBO.

Chula Vista pool house

Good spot for the family with a pool and hot tub. An extra $100 per day for heating the pool and the hot tub only heats to 100 degrees for 3 hours per day. No washer and drying in the house. Nicole was great to work with and adjust the pool heating. Very responsive.

Great place with responsive owner

The home was very nice, the backyard was definitely a big seller to me. Nicole was very responsive to me throughout as I was having problems with heating the pool. Only reason for four stars was just that we weren't able to get the pool heating properly without using the hot tub to do so leaving us to not have as much time in the pool as we'd like and a few tiles by the pool that were missing around the hot tub that you could scrape yourself on.

Looks good in pictures. Not what you get.

This property needs substantial maintenance and deep cleaning. The air conditioning does not keep the master bedroom cool. We had to beg the owner to let us drop the temperature. The fan in the master does not work. Floors are extremely dirty. Two of the showers would not drain. Then the toilet backed up into the master shower making the room stink. Miserable stay. Thousands of dollars for a truly miserable experience.

Perfect for us

The property was as described with one very minor exception. While it was clear that laundry service was an option for longer stays, it wasn't clear the reason was that laundry machines were entirely unavailable. Not a deal breaker but some clarity would have been nice. Finally, we were charged $810 in "Late Check Out" fees despite not requesting nor using this option. Whatever, I guess.

Hi Kevin, thank you for your 5 star review! Laundry services are available, which includes coming to the property and picking up your laundry and returning it within 24 hours. This is stated on the listing. I'm also confused about the charge you wrote of as we do not have any late check out fee.

Perfect for Family Stay

My family and I enjoyed this house. So thankful we had most of the necessities of a family in the home, including a washer and dryer. Pool was great, house had plenty of towels and the neighborhood felt safe. The positives of this home outweighs any small things that affected our stay at this home. Only things I would ask to fix is to please clean the fan vent in the bathroom, because there was so much dust up there and it turns on every time you turn the lights on. Also, the pool guy showed up unexpectedly and I would have preferred that happen before our stay. This was disruptive because our kids were just in the pool and to see a random guy in the back yard, it was startling at first. Also, we only had one garbage bag for 5 days because they accidentally forgot to leave us an extra one on the bottom. They were gracious enough to say they would drop off more, but by then, I had already purchased some. Hot water was very hard to get going and you had to run the water for at least 10 minutes to get the water hot enough to shower.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We’re so happy to hear that your family enjoyed the house and found it well-equipped with the necessities, including the washer and dryer.

We will definitely address the fan vent cleaning and work to improve communication about pool maintenance times to avoid any future disruptions. We're also sorry for the inconvenience with the garbage bags and hot water; we'll ensure these issues are looked into to improve future stays.
