Very charming little house, perfect for 3 adults and 2 small dogs. Appreciated the host, got to meet on day one and helped us unload so our dogs could get out to the back yard after a 12 hour drive. It was perfectly located and we were so happy for the parking. Highly recommend this place and plan on renting again when we come back all together. Thanks for the wonderful experience! So impressed and love this house so much.

Cute and Quaint Place

Such a cute, tiny, and quaint spot—perfect for a short getaway! Located in Normal Heights, it’s within walking distance to local restaurants and a grocery store, making it super convenient. A great home base for exploring—just a short drive to Coronado Island, the San Diego Zoo, Fiesta bike trail, and Mission Bay Club. Cozy, clean, and in a great neighborhood. Loved our stay!

Great place with amazing location

From the moment we entered, the place felt like home. Warm and inviting. Kitchen was well equipped and the decor was fun. Beds were comfy and the air conditioning and ceiling fans are wonderful to get just the right temperature. Bonus driveway to park in. The cafe across the street was delicious. Super convenient access to the highway to get anywhere in the city. Loved it.

Fantastic Property and Hosts

Quick work trip that we turned into a mini-vacation. The hosts were super communicative and even offered fresh fruit for our arrival. We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and this is at the top of the list as far as being well appointed. Easy to cook without needing additional resources. Extremly clean and comfortable. Super cool neighborhood. Very quiet while being walking distance to grocery, restaurants, bars, shops. Also, conviennent location to major freeways. 5 Forks!
