Tropical Paradise

This lovely space is wonderful! The greenery and the decorating is so cheerful. If you thrive on being outside in a welcoming, plant-filled space with lots of seating options, this is the place for you. I am a sucker for L-shaped couches and this home has one on the inside and one on the outside. Loved my stay. The host was very responsive, too.

Great Getaway but some things to consider.

The location and space was beautiful! It was the perfect amount of space for my husband and I. We chose a SUV for our car rental which I am happy for it because to get to the rental the road is a steep incline and the turn into the parking space could be a concern if you have a low clearing vehicle or a manual. Also when we arrived all the windows and doors were open besides the security door which was locked. My security is very important so being in a new area of San Diego I would have preferred that all the doors were closed and locked upon arrival. There are two front doors. A steel security door and a wood door. The wooden door does not deadbolt and barely closes. A slight pull on the handle and it comes right open. This would definitely be something to consider if you are traveling alone. If I was not with my husband, I don’t know if I could have stayed here.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 October 2024
Thank you for your kind words about the location and space of our property! We're so glad it provided a comfortable stay for you and your husband. We appreciate your feedback regarding the windows and doors. We intentionally leave windows open prior to guest arrivals to ensure the space is well-ventilated with fresh air, contributing to a healthy and inviting environment. It also helps dispel any lingering scent from the cleaning products used by our cleaners. As far as security is concerned, the property is located on a private road in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is only one point of access to the home—through the front gate—which is monitored by a security camera. Regarding the wooden stained glass door, it is designed primarily as an aesthetic feature, which is why the steel security door is in front of it. Frankly, adding a lock to the stained glass door would be redundant, as the security door is designed to serve that purpose. The stained glass door is more of a design element to add charm to the property, and when the security door is locked, guests are completely secure. As for the road leading to the property, while we appreciate your choice of an SUV, please rest assured that a special vehicle is not necessary. The road and turn are manageable for all types of vehicles, and low-clearing vehicles only need extra attention on the turn, which guests have navigated without any issues. Thank you again for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
