Location was as advertised, between Mission Beach and Mission Bay, prime location,. The interior was immaculate, well appointed and very comfortable. Walking distance to Belmont Park.
Host communications were spot on and timely. The kitchen & living room provided great space for us to play games and entertain during the recent SD monsoon!

Thrilled to hear our communications were spot on and timely. It makes us happy that the kitchen and living room provided the perfect great space for you to play games and entertain, especially while weathering that recent SD monsoon!
Beautiful, spacious home in a lovely gated neighborhood. There were plenty of beds and three bathrooms on two levels. Please be sure to see the linens policy as towels and sheets are not supplied There were lots of stairs and landings (3 floors), but there was generous room to relax and spend time together. The place was well-appointed. We really enjoyed the Marvel and DC decor, too. Overall, it was a wonderful haven for our family as we enjoyed a long-awaited vacation together.
