We had an absolutely amazing stay! The home was immaculate from top to bottom and truly exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking, plus thoughtful extras like cleaning supplies, which made everything so convenient.There was plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably, and the kids absolutely loved the playroom—it was a huge bonus and kept them entertained the entire trip!The location couldn’t have been better—just a short distance from the zoo, the beach, and tons of great family-friendly attractions. It made planning our days so easy.Communication with the host was perfect from start to finish—responsive, friendly, and very accommodating.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and family-friendly getaway!

This house is comfortable and welcoming. The layout is nice and open on the main floor. One added surprise is the small playroom that was perfect for our 3 yo grandson to play in. Both with his own toys and those that are already in the house.The bedrooms are comfortable; appliances etc all work well and easy to use. The small backyard was nice to sit in during the afternoon; great for children and dog alike!To be sure, the airplanes flying overhead are low and make noise, that took us a bit of time to get used to.Otherwise, we really enjoyed are stay in San Diego with this perfectly located warm house.

Fantastic stay!

This place was perfect for our family getaway! The pool was a huge hit with our littles and the well stocked kitchen and playroom made for a smooth stay. Also, the close walk to Starbucks was amazing! Only thing that would have been nice would have been a lock on the master bedroom door. Otherwise, great location, & beautiful home!

Mid week stay for wedding at Japanese Friendship Garden

This property was awesome! Perfect for our family and a great location for us to easily attend a wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden. The house is beautiful, clean, well maintained, very nicely updated. Our kiddos loved playing in the pool! The living space was large and wonderful for accommodating our group. We all enjoyed the outdoor space as well! Would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful home, incredibly accommodating for families with lots of great amenities and small touches. The host was incredibly communicative and we had a wonderful stay there with our toddler, they made it easy so that we didn’t have to bring a portable crib or highchair and had a wonderful toy room with activities for the kids as well. Highly recommend, clean, lovely neighborhood and wonderful stay

Family vacation

We spent four nights at this great property. Great space for six adults and four children under six to enjoy. Extremely comfortable indoor and outdoor space. Well stocked for the kids. A cook’s kitchen. Close to the airport. A very walkable neighborhood. Will definitely be back.

This home was perfect for our week-long family vacation. Great location with some nice restaurants, shops, gym etc in walking distance. the house was stocked with plenty of amenities including a playroom filled with plenty of great toys, books, high chair, stroller, etc for our little kids to use. They also had beach chairs umbrellas and wagon for the beach. A plus (and minus) is its proximity to the airport- only about 10 minutes away but right under the flight path so during the day planes fly over about every 10 minutes and its pretty loud. Our host was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had during the stay. All in all it was a great trip and we would definitely come back again!

Beautiful San Diego House

I rented this house for my bachelorette party and it very comfortably housed 9 girls. The house was perfectly clean upon our arrival and was so cute! The backyard provides additional living space so there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The house is also in a very cute neighborhood and was walking distance to some restaurants and coffee shops. As great as the house was, the thing that really stood out was the host! We had all sorts of requests during our stay and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. I really felt that her service went above and beyond and I would absolutely book this house again in the future.

Great house and location, but best for a smaller group.

Overall my stay was great, and the house itself is beautiful, however I primarily booked the house because it listed it was able to accommodate 12 guests, and unfortunately this wasn't exactly accurate. We had 12 adults, and luckily we brought an air mattress, otherwise we would have been a bit screwed. One person had to sleep on the couch. The only way to fit 12 would have been if we put 3 people in each king bed, and 2 on the futon/sofa bed, but this isn't ideal especially for 12 adults. We also got unlucky that the group before us broke the large glass door, so we were unable to use that feature to open up the house (not the homeowners fault of course, but was still a bummer). Also, for EV charging, make sure you bring a 120 volt adapter as all there is is an outdoor outlet to plug into. Host was very communicative and helpful throughout. Thanks again!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Brad! We appreciate your thoughts and are glad to hear that overall your stay was enjoyable and you loved the home. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the sleeping arrangements. While our listing does accommodate up to 12 guests, we understand the importance of clarity and will review our description to ensure it accurately reflects the sleeping arrangements for both adults and children as we have a crib and 2 pack n plays for families traveling with little ones. Regarding the broken sliding door and the EV charger, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. We were very disspointed that the door was broken as well. We're actively working to address these issues to ensure a more seamless experience for our guests. We’re a small family business and try our very best to provide all of our guests with a luxury experience. Your feedback will help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future. Thanks!

Great location, close to the Zoo/Balboa Park, golfing, groceries, coffee shops, etc. Quick drive to downtown, shopping, and the airport. Very nice home and well equipped with almost everything you need to feel at home. Off-street parking is very nice. Plenty of room for the group to gather, or to get away on your own.

We really enjoyed our stay here. With four adults and two kids, everyone had their own room, and the beds were so comfy! The house is beautiful and centrally located. The outdoor room was an added bonus, though noisy with all the airplanes. The stroller was a HUGE win to have as we used it almost every day. The owners really did think of everything. We found everything that we needed, including a lint roller!Our young kids enjoyed the playroom and the outdoor TV!One suggestion I would make is to have a sound machine and curtains in the playroom. Our youngest slept there and had a hard time sleeping as the blinds were broken and would not cover the entire windows. It was very bright in there. Thanks for an awesome stay. We will definitely look for one of your properties in the future!
