Incredible Home - Photos Don't Do It Justice!

We had an amazing stay at The Boat House (S1295) at Sunset Cliffs. The home was incredibly spacious, with plenty of room for our group of 13 to spread out comfortably without ever feeling crowded. The layout worked really well for a larger group, and the bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. The backyard/frontyard (with the grass) was a highlight - absolutely amazing and perfect for relaxing and spending time together. Communication was easy from start to finish, and the hosts were very responsive whenever we had questions. Overall, this was a fantastic stay and we would absolutely recommend it. 10/10 experience!

Amazing seaside home!

Wow, we absolutely loved our stay at The Boat House! The house was perfect for our trip with 3 families. Everything was so clean and inviting! The views from the front of the house could not be beat, and we enjoyed spending time out in the yard and on the patio. Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay!

Great Stay

House was absolutely wonderful and perfect for our family vacation! We loved the location, plenty of available parking, multiple entertainment spaces that were enjoyable for all ages. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook multiple meals. Check-in and out were easy and host was very accommodating. I only noted two slight annoyances I would remedy but these were in no way major issues.. Bathrooms need hooks on the walls and in the showers. Multiple daily hot tub trips and beach trips but nowhere to hang up swimsuits and towels. One towel rod per bathroom is not enough for a house that sleeps 14. Shower pressure in the upstairs showers was miserable. Downstairs had an adjustable shower head and that shower was glorious! Would recommend switching out shower heads.

Exceeded Expectations

We stayed at this amazing property and had an incredible time. Not only was it beautiful on the inside, but it was also just as incredible to spend time in the outside space. The beds were really comfortable, tons of space to entertain and have fun and the most incredible views of the ocean to enjoy every night. This property exceeded our expectations in every way and had all we could need and more. Highly recommend!

The best Sunset we have ever seen!

Beautiful home with a brilliant Sunset View! Could have not asked for a more clean, spacious, stylish home to stay with our family. Multiple bedrooms with individual bathrooms was great to have. We truly enjoyed the front porch fire pit sunsets. Magical. Walking distance from beach and our course the Cliffs. The home had everything we needed and then some. It made our trip from New York to San Diego one to remember!

Amazing location and views!

The Boathouse is exactly as described! Lots of room and fully furnished, the Boathouse is beautiful from top to bottom. Laundry room had detergent, bathrooms had extra TP and plenty of towels. The location is fantastic and close to many major sights and the views from the Cliffs are super. What a way to start the day! House is also walkable to the local downtown with cafes, restaurants and Rite Aid. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Absolutely no complaints!

The Boathouse Sunset Cliffs

I have been going on trips with 7 other girlfriends for 15 years and our trip to San Diego was one of the best. The Boathouse exceeded my expectations. There were plenty of bedrooms/beds. It is often difficult to find a rental that can accommodate 8 women comfortably. The house was beautifully decorated and very charming. We decided not to go to dinner 2 nights because the sunset view was AMAZING. We were able to do Pilates on the front lawn. I highly recommend The Boat house! Check in and check out was easy and the communication with the the Driftway check staff was great! Thank you!
