This was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Stocked well with all necessities, very quiet and we were never without something to do. The host response, beginning with our booking was always a quick turnaround. The only issue we had was the hot tub didn’t work but everything else was fantastic. We plan on returning again! Thank you for making our family vacation one to remember.

House was amazing! The perfect spot for a bachelorette! Home was clean and so picturesque. The back yard is very private too, feels like an oasis. We had some issues with the hot tub and pool staying heated, but the management company was quick to respond and send the owner out who then called pool maintenance. We didn’t get to use the pool as intended, but the response was appropriate and we even got a little pizza out of it.

Great home and neighborhood. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and mall within minutes of house if you forget something. Family loved it so much they didn’t want to leave to go sightseeing so they can relax and get in pool. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Will definitely stay there again.

Great in town oasis

The house is a beautiful private oasis close to everything in San Diego. The outdoor area is amazing with so much charm and you are minutes away from all the tourist attractions and fun. Perfect house for a family group. Host was very attentive to any questions or concerns.

This house is stunning!!! It’s even better than the pictures and had everything we needed and more. It’s in a great location yet you don’t even need to leave the house if you don’t want to. Beaches and great restaurants are a quick drive and the house is equipped with tons of games, a BBQ outside and the perfect pool so you can really enjoy the home. It truly feels like your own oasis :) My family and I had the best time, thank you for a great stay! Can’t wait to come back!
