The pool and outdoor area was very nice. We used pool during day and gazebo and fire pit at night. Host was very accommodating when a few things came up during stay and answering questions prior to arrival.

Thank you for the kind words! It was pleasure meeting and hosting you and your lovely family 😊
We had a lovely stay at the home! Very centrally located in North San Diego, central to many attractions such as downtown and La Jolla Cove house. The house was very well kept and made for a comfortable stay with our families as our kids played in the swimming pool and we enjoyed a home-cooked dinner every night with a full fully stocked kitchen. Communication was great throughout our stay, and his wife even came by the first night with a basket of extra towels for us! We would happily come back again if we could!

My family stayed in the beautifully decorated home for 4 nights. Everything was great; the location, the amenities, the cleanliness and the communication with the owners. Our favorite part was the beautiful backyard where we spent a lot of time enjoying. We would absolutely stay here again.
We really liked the place it was super clean and well maintained. The owner kept In Great communication with us and made sure we ere comfortable. A bonus was the park across the street and near by hiking trails. Also this place was centrally located to just about everything. would recommend staying here again.

Thank you for your kind words 😊. We sent the purse that was left behind via fedex, please let us know it arrived safely. Enjoy your weekend!
We had such an amazing stay here. Everything was as expected and the host was so kind. Communication was easy and we were able to find everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back and stay again! Thank you for having us!
My husband, infant and I rented this house with our family from the Bay Area who have a 5 and 8 year old. The house is well equipped for children of all ages (and adults!), with all the baby gear we could need. The park across the street was the cherry on top. Very responsive and easy to communicate with, highly recommend staying here!
Accurate depiction in listing. Nice, family friendly neighborhood. Good yard and pool. Excellent communication with host. Lots of traffic to get around town, wish there were better restaurant options in the neighborhood.
The property is just like the listing and we had no issues during our stay. Plenty of room for a group with a spacious downstairs and outside area. Everything was new and clean. Safe and quiet area with a school across the street. Would recommend

Jacob and company had booked through us when while completing for the PGA tour. There were clean, respectful and just nice people overall. Being new hosts with a brand new renovated home, we were nervous about renting out to a large group of younger kids but are minds were immediately set at ease upon meeting Jacob and his friends. They definitely surpassed our expectations and even left us a gift! Highly recommended people and guests. A++++
When I say this house is gorgeous, I mean it! This is easily one of the best stays we've had in San Diego. The house was immaculate and upscale, with lots of small touches to make our stay comfortable. The location is quiet, safe, and family friendly, and our little girls loved the park literally across the street (where they met some little friends as well). The pool is beautiful. We were able to get downtown and to the major sites in just a few minutes. And check in was really easy. This stay made our trip to visit family in the area pretty much perfect. We'll be back!

Andy,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m glad we actually got to meet your beautiful family and were truly grateful to have you as our guests. The house was handed over totally spotless in pristine condition! Thank you for being our honorary guests… we will gladly host you again at future dates 😊
We came in for a multigenerational stay to celebrate our graduate (UCSD). The house was the PERFECT place for all of us to gather in a safe and quiet neighborhood. The highlights were most certainly the host and his amazing communication and the comfort of the beds! After a long day it was so welcome. Our elderly parents were able to enjoy time with their teen/young adult grandchildren. The pool was the icing on the cake. We are so grateful for the time and space.
Our family members were in town for our mom/grandmother's 90th birthday party. She lives in the same neighborhood, so, not only was this place perfectly situated/close by, it accommodated our 7 family members excellently and comfortably. The communication with Joe was outstanding and, if the weather had cooperated, we would have loved using the pool. We did relax there - bundled up! - one afternoon and it was so pleasant. Highly recommend! We will stay here again whenever our family gathers for another celebration!

You have been an amazing guest. Thank you for your kind words. We would love to have you and your family over again!
We had so much fun staying at this house! We didn’t realize when we booked that the house was right across the street from a beautiful park, which most of our kids said was their favorite part out of all the other things we did in San Diego! The home was recently renovated and the kitchen and master bath were our favorite parts! Beautifully done! Plenty of space for a big family like ours.. The owners were super responsive and made sure we had all the kitchen things we needed to cook with, even late at night! 😅 Some things that would make it even better (mostly for long term stays) is to have a small vacuum in the house to keep floors clean during the stay. We swept every morning with lots of kids coming in and out but a vacuum would be even better! Also-the washer and dryer are in the garage and it may be nice to have a rug underneath of them so that if any clean clothes drop when switching, they don’t get dirty.. Thanks for letting us stay at your lovely home!
