This is a lovely rental, fresh, modern, comfortable & well appointed. All amenities are top notch, from the tiled shower and full bath, to the comfortable king mattress, kitchen appliances and washer / dryer. The outdoor patio, porch, sitting areas and hot tub are exceptional. For a 2BR / 2BA we believe 4 should rent at base price with zero added fees. That is our only concern, and we are grateful the host was accommodating to that request. Thank you kindly Ricardo!

Perfect rental! Everything I expected it to be and more!! Loved the quiet residential neighborhood. The outside area was beautiful and peaceful. A perfect way to relax after a day out in San Diego. The house was super clean and tidy with amenities like bottled water, laundry detergent, beach gear, towels, espresso, etc. to name a few. I would definitely recommend this rental and would stay here again in a heart beat! Mahalo for the memories!

Amazing Stay - Highly Recommend!

My husband and I stayed for a little over a week. The home was absolutely beautiful both inside and out. It was both in the center of everything and felt like a private oasis. Everything was in immaculate condition and very clean. The property manager/owner was very friendly and responsive. Can’t beat the location. I could not recommend this place enough and can’t wait to come back!

Hillcrest Villa

We stayed 28 days at the villa. The inside and outside had been perfectly remodeled. The kitchen and bathrooms were perfect. The fenced in yard was private and secure. We cooked indoors and outdoors. Ricardo, our host, quickly answered any questions. Our reserved parking space was a huge plus. We highly recommend this rental.

everything was clean, modern, great amenities, big kitchen, nice living room, spacious master bedroom, nice showers. Overall experience was great, I honestly would make this my stay every time I visited the area. only thing is beware of the strict rules, i understand they don’t want their property being disrespected and parties being thrown but for the price, they’re a tad bit strict on the amount of guests you can have over at a time or at least it seemed like it. I feel like as long as everyone is respectable and quiet, should all be good but would honestly come again. 8/10
