The pool’s nice and location was convenient to everything! Some things around the house could use an update/ refresh like the shower, carpets, window shutters. Host was very communicative and overall a pleasant stay
Everything about this stay was top notch. The hosts were awesome, responsive and pleasant. The property is the perfect place for fun and relaxation. The house is clean and quiet and the pool and spa are heaven on earth.

We enjoyed having you! Please come back and visit!
Perfect place for our family! Great stores close, full kitchen, pool, games, propane was full and the kids were happy. Only issue we had was our trip was too short. What a great time.
Quiet, central location close to everything. Spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the pool and hot tub. Easy communication with host for check-in and check-out. Thank you for a great stay!
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.

Thank you so much for choosing our home, you were wonderful. We are so sorry about the AC malfunction, the day that you checked out we had someone come immediately and fix the AC unit. It is now running wonderfully. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.
The pool and spa are very well maintained. Very nice neighborhood. Easy access to any attraction. The accommodations could use some updating. The host was very quick to respond when we had questions. Very nice stay.
We were happy with the location. It was so close to stores, SeaWorld, beaches and hiking areas. We enjoyed this homes pool and jacuzzi with our family. The hosts were very helpful and responsive when we had questions. forward to returning next summer. I am recommending this location to my friends. Thank you.
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.
We stayed at the property with our family for a wedding. The property was well stocked, which we appreciate it since we forgot our toothbrushes. It was very enjoyable to use the pool and spa.
We were looking for a place in the sun for 2 weeks in a location with lots to do and found this house. Perfect location with easy access to many areas and fun things to do. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was exceptionally accommodating. Pool and hot tub area were perfect for relaxing. We definitely would stay again! Thanks, Craig for letting us stay in your home!

Thank you Robert we look forward to having you again!
Wonderfully appointed home, comfy beds, plenty of space for 3 adults and two kids under 12 who absolutely loved the pool and hot tub. Great location, close to Sea World, Balboa Park, the Zoo and the beach. Hosts are super attentive and informative, quick to help on anything you might need. Five stars overall!
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.
Spacious, comfortable, working spa (a first for us), great communication with the property manager (huge help in a crisis), very comfortable bed (unlike previous Vrbo unit), all appliances worked (also unlike previous Vrbo unit), two full bathrooms.
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!
Pool and spa were great as were accommodations. Not far from the natural reserve which made for a nice run/hike. Kitchen had necessities to cook meals and we were able to use outdoor grill. Only negative was that games that were advertised were missing a lot of pieces. Sound system and tV options were great.
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.
