We enjoyed our stay with lots of room comfortable beds, cozy living room, great kitchen and fun yard to spend time with the family! We will definitely stay here again!
Wonderful property in a great location. We are a family of four with a dog and stayed in this house very comfortably. It’s 15 minutes from anywhere you would want to be in San Diego.
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!
Fantastic location- walking distance to many restaurants and stores, and easy access to many great attractions in the area. Would absolutely stay here again!
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!
Ricardo's place was fantastic. Location was super convenient. Walking distance to Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Trader Joes and tons of great restaurants. The space was clean and the outdoor space was lovely for chilling out. Easy trips downtown to Petco Park, La Joilla, Old Town and Mission Beach. We had good times in San Diego!
The property was everything it said it would be. Fantastic location, wonderful local restaurants, the house was spotless and had all the amenities needed. Definitely a great place that we will be returning to!
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!
Great location close to Balboa Park and downtown. House had a very nice ambience; we had a nice time relaxing there in-between outings. Kitchen was fully equipped.. beds were comfortable and TV was huge! I highly recommend.
We loved our stay in this historic and walkable neighborhood. The yard is everything. The home is quite possibly the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed - hotels included. Cozy and well equipped. The hot tub was the best part!
Great Property, Great Neighborhood, Near the San Diego Zoo
We thoroughly enjoyed the family vacation in San Diego, and this VRBO property was clean, accessible, close to great restaurants and the zoo. Our host guided us through the easy check-in access to the property and made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. We highly recommend this property.
Perfect for the three of us. Nicely remodeled, great hot tub, nice year, quiet location. Super comfortable and clean as well. I would definitely come back!
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
Beautifully maintained villa. Stunning outdoors area with lush landscaping with fabulous spa and total privacy. Huge kitchen and cozy living room with fireplace.Large master bedroom and comfy bed. Perfect spit for my husband and I and our dog.
Unfortunately I did not make it to the home for my getaway as I had a medical emergency, but from the communication I had with Ricardo & the other reviews here it seems like a wonderful place! Hopefully I’ll get to book in the future
This is a very nice two bath/bedroom house with large kitchen and living room, that is close to most main attractions and restaurants in San Diego! Plus, the outside area makes it even better with a private, tropical yard with a dining area and jacuzzi. I will book this again!
