Rented the Hiker’s Paradise property for my daughter’s Master’s Graduation from San Diego State! We had between 6-8 adults staying with us! The house was clean, linens and towel fresh and provide for the guests! A huge plus was the amazing pool with waterfall and hot tub in the backyard with lots of seating and a Tiki bar with a barbecue that we used almost every night! The house had plenty of extras like TP, paper towels, towels for the shower and beach towels for the pool, lots of extras in refrig and cupboards! It was a wonderful house enjoyed by 3 generations! Best part was Mike was always available to answer any questions we had and was very responsive! Thanks Mike for a very memorable stay! We will return for sure!
Beautiful views and great location! Close to everything!
Nice hiking trail directly in back of the house!

We rented the property for a week while we were having construction at our house a few miles away. It is such a special property we felt like we were on vacation in a tropical paradise. The property has everything you need for a relaxing stay and the owner is wonderful at communicating and making everything seamless from check in to checkout. Highly recommend this property 10/10.communicating.ansusureveryseamless
