About the host
Hosted by Lea & John
We're available 24 hours a day - 7 days a week via: phone, text & email. Our maintenance technicians are on-call 24 hours a day if the need should arise.
The owners are transplanted mid-westerners who met and married in San Diego County. We bought our lot after being blown away by the views from the property. We finished building our home in 2002 and now that our kids are grown and gone we are happy to share the experience with others who can enjoy everything our home and location have to offer.
*****We now share our beach place on the sand just 30 min away so please consider a stay there as well.www.vrbo.com/1157720 We will skip the 30 days required for friends and family so just let us know if interested and will send you the information.
