About this property

The Orange House- In the Heart of San Diego

Spread out in a covered outdoor space with everything from a full dining table to a fireplace. Inside, each room has its own theme and color scheme, while the home as a whole is full of little luxuries, plus the orange accents that give it its name. Since we are almost always 100% booked, we can’t offer earlier checking-in times. Check-in time is anytime after 3 pm. Same day booking checking-in time is 5:30 pm. Cleaning crew needs the time between 10am-3pm to perform the deep cleaning in preparation for your arrival. We also don’ t have any facility to store luggage prior to check in.

The Orange House was by far the best place we have been so far. It was super clean and cozy. The backyard was so clean and relaxing. I gotta say, the bbq grill maintenance and cleanness said it all.

Very nice!

This property was very clean and in a fantastic location close to everything. Quiet neighborhood and comfortable bedrooms. Would have easily been a 10 if more comfortable living room seating was added. Outdoor cushions also desperately need to be replaced. Thank you for a great stay!

Great space—great value.

We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious 4 bedroom home. Every area was decorated in a trendy look that added that special touch. As an added bonus, the covered patio area, fenced year and oversized grill was truly outdoor living.

There were a few things needing repair and there should be more furniture in the living room but nothing that diminished our stay.

Beautiful House/ Great Location / Very Clean

We booked this house to bring all our family together for the holidays. The location was right in the middle of San Diego. 15 min to everywhere. The house was very clean I loved how it was decorated. Not a lot of indoor living room seating but we made it work for our group.

Great Stay!

Great house, nice spacious rooms, good beds, pillows could be better, everything is in excelent conditions, having coffee pods available is a real plus! Hosts are attentive. Having 2 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms is a stretch but manageable. Overall very good location, quiet neighborhood and comfortable.

Great stay for SDSU Family weekend

Great stay- 2bathrooms so make sure your family can share! Was surprised by stairs to master- not an issue with our group, the 3rooms on ground level and 4th master bedroom on 2nd/upper level with stairs was fine to share - just be aware Great communication with host and location was perfect for our visit to sdsu and property was clean - also would recommend a love seat for the living room! Thank you! We would stay there again!

Not bad, but not amazing

The property was not necessarily bad but for the price we paid, we expected a little more. Based on the photos, the house looked very luxurious. However, the furniture seemed extremely dated and cheap. We selected this home with the intention of hosting a big family gathering, yet the living room had a very awkward placement and could not even sit more than 4 people. The sofa was absolutely uncomfortable and as were the bed and pillows. The backyard was nice I am unsure what purpose it would serve given all the strict rules the host provided. I suggest updating the furniture in the home to make it worth the price it was listed at.

Another great stay at this property!

Tucked in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to plenty of retail, eateries, and Kaiser hospital, this was our second stay in this lovely, modern home! Clean, plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Loved the sunny outside porch! Good parking, very nice patio/backyard. Loved the gas stove! Kitchen nicely stocked. Very good communication with owners. No problems. Thumbs up!!!

LOVED THIS PLACE!

Even better than the pics. Thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Good-sized bdrms. Quality towels in baths. VERY well-stocked kitchen. Beautiful and inviting patio/backyard. Quiet neighborhood, close to services/eateries/freeways. Had a great visit and would highly recommend.

San Diego trip

We came for a weekend family trip. This house was very clean and had everything that was needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items. Could have used more bathroom towels but there was a washer and dryer available to wash them. The owner provided very detailed instructions on what/how to do things. We just wish we could have enjoyed the house more but there were so many things to see/do while in San Diego.

Quiet neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for 6 adults to sleep. We booked the place for the patio but the weather didn’t cooperate with us on that. It could use more living room seating since it sleeps 6-8 adults. Another thing maybe add some lamps in the bedrooms. Overall a great place. Easy to get to gaslamp district and Little Italy. Plus it is walkable to some restaurants and grocery stores which was a plus. We would book again.

Disappointed

Check in was easy and neighborhood was nice. My Family of 8 had room to sleep but not enough seating to gather in house and visit. Furniture was very used and run-down. Outside would have been better, but the furniture was very uncomfortable and the flies were so bad we could not sit outside and enjoy the weather. The neighbors apple tree dropped apples in the yard and they were rotting, which attracted all the flies. I never heard from the host till it was time to check out. When I informed the host the day we left that the gas grill was out of gas, she responded that a 7 eleven was 2 miles down the road and they had a extra tank in garage, which we did not have access to! House was not very clean and had some repairs that needed attention. We will not be returning to this property.
