The asthetic of the interior couldn't be beat! Loved the artwork and furnishings. Wall of glass opening to the extensive outdoor area w/ great views & fresh air. Our party of 3 used the home lightly, primarily enjoying our R&R in the main area. Location was great for us; easy drive to many local areas. Owner was easy to work w/ from booking to check out.

Wonderful Stay

This property was just as good if not better than advertised. it is in a great location, just a 5-10 minute drive from pretty much everything. Wonderful view off the back patio, very clean and inviting and has pretty much anything you would need to vacation comfortably. If/when we come back to SD this is a place I would be more than willing to stay!

Great central location for our sightseeing of San Diego & La Jolla locations. Short drives to both.

House has a nice open floor plan, with lots of light, and good views of Mission Bay from the hills. Well equipped kitchen and great appliances for cooking some meals in as we diid, with the exception of no microwave.

SD Stay

The house was gorgeous with an amazing view of the Mission Bay. Sun rise and sun set were phenomenal with hummingbirds buzzing all around. This was a great house to have family over to celebrate. More than enough seating for everyone, and with opening the back door/windowswe all were able to enjoy the view.

Great stay, great location!

We are a family of 7 on our first trip to San Diego. We LOVED the Bay Ho neighborhood for easy proximity to La Jolla, downtown San Diego, and Coronado. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. The house was perfect for us and the deck outside was spacious with an amazing view! Our kids loved that they could see the Sea World sky tower lit up like a christmas tree each night!

Beautiful, spacious home with a stunning view

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The open floor plan is very spacious and welcoming. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to cook and enjoy meals. Comfortable beds in the 3 bedrooms, and the shower in the master bath is amazing! Our favorite part was the deck with views of the bay. Perfect for relaxing with morning coffee or enjoying a meal al fresco. Highly recommend this property!

Family get together

We enjoyed our stay and felt welcomed. The neighborhood location was convenient, too! I would have preferred a bit more room for our belongings. The biggest issue was a lack of space in the pantry to put food. It was full of their food items and kitchen equipment. Beds were very comfortable!

Fantastic Family House!

I brought 3 seniors down to hang with great grandkids over the holidays. The single level fp was ideal and the open living space was perfect when my cuz brought the Littles over! Ron and son were quick to communicate when we had a ? and the nightly fireworks from Sea World were spectacular!

Perfect location to enjoy San Diego

We spent six nights at this comfortable and well appointed home. It was only 20 minutes to anywhere you wanted to go in the town. The house is well equipped with expansive views toward the water. Ron was very responsive to an issue we identified, he resolved it quickly, and communication was great throughout. Highly recommend this home for people who want to get a taste of San Diego and some of the surrounding Beach areas

Had a great time at your home. The kitchen was great to cook in. Wasn’t sure how to work everything but figured it out. The view was awesome. Very comfortable, my brother n law loved the white lazy boy. The rain put a damper on some things, but can’t control that.

We had a fantastic time at Ron’s house! It was just as beautiful as the pictures show, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Ron kept us updated with clear check-in and check-out instructions, making everything easy. We were very pleased with all the amenities that made our stay comfortable.The highlight was definitely the stunning views from the deck and the accordion slider doors that opened across the entire living room—it felt so relaxing to sit in the fresh air and take it all in.I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting San Diego!
Gorgeous view from the deck…

Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Haus mit tollem Blick! Das Haus liegt günstig und ruhig gelegen, die Fahrtzeit zum Strand oder Downtown beträgt jeweils circa 15 min. und ist somit ein guter Ausgangspunkt.

Wedding Week

We were visiting San Diego for our daughter's wedding and needed the property to serve many purposes. Myself, husband, sister and son were staying and everyone had a bedroom to use. Flower arrangments were made the day before the wedding and we had several of my daughter's frineds over to help and then enjoy lunch. The rehersal dinner was held here with about twenty people and the outdoor space was a hit! This property did it all and I was proud to host people as the space was beautiful, parking was easy, nieghborhood was quiet, and proximity to downtown San Diego was perfect.
