Wonderful and Quiet

The property is nice and secluded, we had our dog with us who loved the property. The unit was a great size with a wonderful patio area to enjoy the San Diego weather. We will definitely book the property again.

Close To SD With Beautiful Views

The rental was the perfect location for our family of 4. It is close to San Diego, the neighborhood was quiet, and the views were amazing! The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a few more spatulas for cooking, and dusting the air vents in the living room. Overall, it was a good stay and I would recommend!

Amazing

Our family enjoyed staying here. It had everything we needed. It was very comfortable, clean, and smelled great. My boys wanted to swim here more than any other of the activities in San Diego. The views were great and the outside patio with table was enjoyable to eat outside.

What a gem!

I was born and raised in San Diego, so I know the value of this property. Convenient to so many things yet secluded and quiet. The host were amazing, and very helpful. I'm hesitant to say how happy I am about this property because I don't want others to be there the next time I want to stay! This will definitely be my go to property when staying in San Diego

Sweet House in a Lovely Setting

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The pool was fabulous and an absolute bonus. The location was peaceful and quiet whilst also being within easy reach of all San Diego has to offer. The bed was comfortable, we loved the board games available in the living room, WI-FI was reliable and fast, and the house was spacious enough for our family of four.

Perfect accommodation for SDSU activities

Stayed here for son’s orientation to SDSU. It had everything we needed and more. We didn’t even use the pool! The only draw back (but out of owners control) was the tricky pulling out from driveway onto the main road. Owner was responsive and fast. I’ll be staying here again over the next 6 years when I visit my son!

Casita house

The house was super old and had that moldy house smell pretty bad. Lots of cob webbs and spiders. Floors and rugs where quite dirty. Nice quite neighbor hood. Access to the house was difficult if you have a large truck. Tight turns and steep hills. The pool was lovely but is not heated and is right outside the hosts back door..

I will come again!

We spent the month of February in this rental. We were comfortable and there was a convenient place next to the house for the dog to go potty. It was beautiful and quiet there. There is a very narrow and steep driveway and difficult to maneuver with our big pick up. We are planning on returning next year. If there was a request, we wish the couch was two recliners instead so we could put our feet up.
