The property was fantastic for our family vacation. Our family consists of 2 parents, 2 adult children and their spouses and one grandma. There was enough space to accommodate us all comfortably. The back yard pool area was beautiful and relaxing. The location was less than 30 minutes from all the attractions. We will definitely book again.

This property is amazing. The host has great communication and is very responsive. The house is exceptionally clean and stocked with everything you need. Some very nice touches like shampoo, conditioner and soap. The outside of the home is beautiful. We really enjoyed the pool and all of the pool accessories. We had 6 adults and 2 kids. More than enough space for all of us to be comfortable. The garage has ping pong, foosball and basketball which we utilized during the evenings. Would definitely consider renting again!

We had a wonderful stay while in San Diego for USD graduation. The neighborhood is quiet and very nice and the house easily accommodated our party of 10, very clean and comfortable. The backyard is beautiful and relaxing and the kids really enjoyed the pool and spent much of their time playing ping pong and basketball in the garage. We were also close to a variety of stores and restaurants. Communicating with our host was easy and any questions we had were met with a quick response. We would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you so much, Jessie, for your fantastic review! I truly appreciate you and your group for being the kind of guests that every host hopes for. I believe the word “joke” might have been a typo, and you meant to type “home.” Just a guess! :)

We had a wonderful week in this house. Our family enjoyed being together and there was plenty of space for all ten of us. My eleven year old grandson lived in the pool. He loved the games in the garage. We all loved sitting in the outdoor space. The location is convenient to all the sights of San Diego. We loved how quiet it is. The kitchen is well stocked. We found the host extremely available for the few questions we had. I have no complaints.

We loved staying at this property! They had thought of everything. The house is very well kept up. The kids were entertained, the adults could relax. The pool was amazing, we spent most of our time in it.We will be returning to San Diego in 3 years and hope this property is available for us to rent then.

Family vacay July 2025

Wonderful rental home for our family vacation for 9 people. The kitchen was beautiful and fully stocked with everything you would need or want. Everything provided is higher end and not cheap like many rentals. They had a great tea and coffee bar and a Traeger grill. The sauna was an awesome addition. The game room was fantastic and again very thoughtfully planned. The hosts were very responsive. Highly recommend

Great Family Gathering Place

We came into San Diego to celebrate the life of a dear friend gone too soon. We made the best of it by gathering our family (kids, grandkids, etc.) in this beautiful home. The highlight for the g’kids was the pool, board games and toys provided. For the adults it was the combination of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces to host local family and friends in town for the same celebration. As far as the accommodations go the house was perfectly clean, beds and linens very comfortable, kitchen well stocked with the basics and the host was the most responsive we’ve ever had to our few needs & questions. This home is a place we will gladly come back to.

Absolutely Perfect

This home exceeded our expectations. It was beyond generously appointed- plenty of towels, linens, a wonderfully appointed kitchen for entertaining, teas and coffees, cozy blankets and games for the whole family. It is stylishly decorated and comfortable for a big group. It’s also centrally located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the freeway to the coast or inland. Our kids loved playing in the pool and adults enjoyed the sauna. Everything was immaculate and very clean. We would definitely book Yan’s home again. 10/10

Beautiful home

Delightful stay. Spacious, up-to-date home in a lovely suburban neighborhood. Worked perfectly for us. Five comfortable bedrooms, which included a convenient main floor bedroom and bath for an older relative. Kitchen was truly well-stocked: Lots of dishes, mugs, wine glasses and tea and coffee supplies. The right amount of pots and pans. We stayed for over a week and cooked delicious family meals almost every night because it was fun being together. Both the inside and outside were carefully curated with amenities including a pool, a trampoline, multiple tvs, and even a sauna. Kids absolutely loved the games in the garage like ping-pong, foosball and a basketball pop-a-shot game, as well as a chess table in the living room, so we opted for several “at-home” days just relaxing as a family. Easy drive, a little less than half an hour, to get to the Zoo, Safari Park, and San Diego Mission.
