We enjoyed our stay here. The home is as listed, the space is clean and the backyard was a great touch. We would absolutely stay again. The host was very kind as well.
My family and I came to experience San Diego for a quick trip. The house was conveniently located within 30mins of all the major things we wanted to do/see. It was clean and had everything needed for a great trip. The property manager was quick to respond to all of my inquiries as well. Would recommend!
This San Diego proprty is a beautiful place to stay! House was spacious enough for our family. The yard is good size and very inviting! The hot tub was very enjoyable! The house is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Location is key to this property, easy to access groceries, restaurants, freeway. This place is a gem! Kitchen amenities were good, just like home! I highly recommend booking this place when you plan to stay in San Diego!

Annual Christmas Get Together in San Diego Needing Another Dwelling
I would label this property welcoming, cozy, and better than I expected. My husband, myself, my daughter’s family of four, and my dog stayed there for a week. My other two sons and daughter-in-law lived less than a mile away, so it was convenient for them to come and visit. The neighborhood was quiet and very safe, safe enough to take walks after dark. The house was very child friendly; we could close doors and section off the family room from the kitchen and the hallway leading to the bedrooms. What we really loved was the enclosed backroom/porch that led out to the backyard. This room was wonderful for setting up toys for the grandkids to play with and we could play with them, talk, and enjoy ourselves. The backyard was set up where we could eat many meals. The bedrooms were nicely sized. The house host was very cordial to communicate with; she answered any questions very promptly. To summarize, this was the first time we ever rented a vacation home, and we definitely made the right choice for our needs.

Why they chose this property
Allied Gardens is a charming and centrally located neighborhood in San Diego, offering a perfect blend of suburban tranquility and easy access to the city’s top attractions. We chose this area because it’s family-friendly, safe, and just minutes away from iconic spots like the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, downtown, Little Italy, and beautiful beaches. Plus, it’s conveniently close to SDSU and Snapdragon Stadium, making it a fantastic base for exploring everything San Diego has to offer.
The neighborhood has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, with tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community. You’ll often see families out for walks, neighbors chatting over fences, and kids playing in nearby parks. It’s peaceful enough to unwind after a busy day but still close to vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options. One of our favorite things is how quickly you can switch from enjoying the calm backyard of our home to being in the heart of downtown San Diego in just 15 minutes.
What makes this property unique
Our 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines modern comfort with a calming, coastal-inspired interior design. The highlight is our newly remodeled backyard, featuring a hot tub, lush turf, a built-in firepit perfect for cozy evenings, and a new propane BBQ for outdoor dining. Whether you’re relaxing inside or enjoying the private outdoor space, you’ll find everything designed to help you feel at home. Plus, our central location means you’re never far from the best San Diego has to offer—whether it’s a day at the zoo, a beach sunset, or a night out downtown. It’s truly the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and style!
