The host exhibited true hospitality! The home was very comfortable and clean. My daughter’s dog loved playing in the backyard and the neighborhood was very walkable.
Hard to beat the house location, easy walk to many things in OB and even Point Loma the other direction. Diane was a gracious host, it's so nice to rent from an individual owner and support her.
Thank you for being such great. Guess I was happy to help you as much as I could. You could’ve been devastated with your vacation, but you were troopers.!!! You’re tough people and I hope to see you again.! see ya!! hopefully with that easier arrival than your last one!

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.

Yes, great idea! Come back again and again with more and more people!!
Thank you for being a great guest!
Diane!
Diane and the house are lovely. Perfect stay with our pets. Everything we needed was there and there’s plenty of space inside and out. Walking distance to the dog beach, local coop and restaurants.
Everything about our stay was excellent. Diane went the extra mile by providing croissants, a small frozen veggie pizza, a small chocolate sheet cake, and half and half for our coffee. After traveling all day and arriving tired and hungry in a strange town those extras are indeed very welcome. The kitchen contains everything necessary. The beds were clean and comfortable. We had an enjoyable time in San Diego and would recommend this centrally located place without hesitation.
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!

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.
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.
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.
We highly recommend this property. Great location, very clean, and top notch amenities. Diane is very easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome.
The place is a great vacation home away from home. Have dozens of towels, free ice cream, free muffins, and a great backyard. 20 minutes walk to Ocean Beach. No issues with the street parking and the neighborhood is quiet and feels safe. Highly recommended.
Charming home in a friendly neighborhood and the owner was very nice.

About the host
Hosted by Diane
I have am a native San Diegan and have lived through much of the history of the beach. I am self employed and now will add renting this property to others to allow them to enjoy the beach-! .A new and fun job-- I am an animal lover and allow good dogs to enjoy their vacations going to dog beach, a famous destination for pet lovers! I will take excellent care of you. I will work with you on any details--( if you need something special waiting for you, if you need a hand, if you have a problem: I will be on hand to help out!) I am a neighbor and ready to help!
Why they chose this property
Want to share beach - living with people that appreciate this great beach home --- everyone can enjoy living at the beach for at least a quick mini vacation....( bring the dog and kids!) I want to do everything I can to make your time here- easy and problem free---! Pick me!!You will love the single family home!
What makes this property unique
This home has vintage charm. The bookcases are 'built in' to the wall and the china cabinet is finely crafted and built as part of the dining room wall. People are fascinated with the unique look of years ago--rarely see these anymore! All new plumbing, newly rewired electricity of the whole house. New kitchen- new appliances, new paint throughout the whole house and all oak wood floors just refinished. The house is all newly updated in all ways! New backyard fences and landscaping lawn for kids and yard living ( table for dining with umbrella _ ) upgraded during 'lockdown'--- The house is not 'cookie cutter' - it is a wonderful step into a less stressed out time of living- and you feel it when you step in!
