Great location close enough to the beach but far enough away to not be crazy. Loved the back yard for our dog. Everything was very comfortable including the king sized bed in the master. Would love to come back with more people.

This house was just like the listing said! It was a great neighborhood and the house had a bunch of amenities like bikes to help us get around town. We used the futons and all the beds and every room was great! Backyard was an awesome spot to hang out day and night as well!

Great location for a stay in San Diego!

We enjoyed our stay in Diane’s cute home. The backyard is beautiful and enjoyable to relax in. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The location is the best! It’s within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee. You do have to get used to airplanes flying over during the day, but the location makes up for the extra noise. We would definitely choose to stay again.

Lovely home in great location.

We stayed here for four nights with our two boys. It was the perfect size. The location is great on a quiet street, but still really close to all the fun things to do in OB. Diane was so fun and very accommodating. I hope we can stay there again sometime.

Great little place to call home away from home

Other than the noisy air planes flying overhead, this was a wonderful home away from home to use during a stay in San Diego. Diane had everything we needed for our stay and we had accommodations for all seven of us in our family. And Diane was extremely nice and quick to respond to messages. Definitely a great place to stay.

Graduation Trip

This property was perfect for us in regards to location for us to attend our daughter's college graduation. We needed a pet friendly home in a quiet neighborhood and this fit the bill; you get used to the airplanes. :o) Diane was a great host and wouldn't hesitate staying there again.

Super stay in OB!

We rented the property for a whole month and it had everything we needed for a great stay. Our host was excellent and very attentive to all requests. The house is perfect for our pet and is in great proximity to the dog beach. We went every day and really appreciated the dog wash in the back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and far enough from the beach area to be peaceful yet close enough to go every day. We would definitely come back again!!

Beach life

Perfectly situated bungalow with easy walking distance to beach, restaurants and grocery. House had a kitchen and laundry so great setup for families, including some outdoor space. For light sleepers or folks traveling with littles, bring your hatch or use the provided box fans to drown out some of the airplane noises. We would absolutely return here on our next visit.

Perfect fit

From the start, the host, Diane, was terrific. Her communication was just what you would hope for. The arrival process was simple and seamless. The amenities were as described and we did not want for anything. The WiFi and streaming services were also convenient and reliable. Even though it is just blocks from the beach, there was always ample parking out front. The backyard was very large and certainly dog friendly, as described. We felt welcome and relaxed. We would definitely return!

Perfect location, Host, and Stay

This lovely house and yard fit our needs perfectly for a week long getaway along with our pets. We had an uncommon need with our varied pet birds plus large dog and the hostess accommodated us wonderfully. We did our best to keep it all clean and had no issues, and all species were happy. I loved the enclosed back yard to hold our dog. This is very clearly a dog friendly and pet welcoming spot. Amenities were comfortable and plenty, I couldn't imagine anything better for our needs, and I hope to return again! Highly recommended, although I hope I don't have to get in a long line for next time once I let out the secret of this great place !

Wonderful cottage close to the Ocean

Our family of 9 stayed here for four days and loved it! It fit everyone comfortably and had a great backyard with a little fire pit area to roast marshmallows and barbecue. This house was close access to Sea world, the beach and much more! Our dog would have loved it if we brought her because Diane had all the things like a dog bed, crate, leash and toys and backyard for it. She also had stuff for the beach for us that we could use. Diane was fabulous to work with and made us yummy bread that was ready when we arrived. Great place and service!
