It was a great stay, the kids loved the pool,hot tub,firepit,playing basketball and the comfy seats outside side by the pool. It was 20 minutes from most attractions so it was nice that it was close to everything. We will definitely be back in the future!

Oh my goodness this property is beautiful!! Every area was clean and comfy! The host thought of all the little details that made it feel like home. The kitchen is very well stocked. There is so much space to spread out and enjoy your time but also large enough areas to gather together for meals or games. The outside is absolutely perfect. We spent so much time in the pool and having meals outside. The space has so much seating and is wonderful for a large family. It is a must stay! We will definitely be visiting again whenever we are in the San Diego area!

We had the best week here for our spring break trip to San Diego. Beautiful property in a very quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for us and our 4 kids. We loved arriving and exploring the property and even got to pick an orange and a handful of blueberries to taste! We cooked a couple of breakfasts and one dinner there and the kitchen had everything we needed. Only downside was the pool was chilly, but the hot tub was nice and hot! We loved that the TV had a paramount plus subscription- we watched top gun after visiting the USS midway. Dara was very responsive with all our questions. Would stay here again!

Extremely clean and well-stocked; plenty of room to spread out; had everything we could need; perfect for our long weekend in the San Diego area. Pool, patio area and firepit were awesome; home gym was great, too. Host communication was prompt and polite and helpful .... great hosts! We will not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend to anyone needing a great place to stay!

Amazing home

The home was 20-30 mins away from all main areas to visit. Gocery store down the hill on the main street. The home was large and inviting. Beautiful land , pool and patio area were a great spot to relax after a long day out. Family loved it.

Perfect spot for a California vacay

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation to San Diego. The home was beautiful and exactly as described. The check-in process was easy and Dara, the host was an excellent communicator. The neighborhood was very nice and a short drive from San Diego. It was nice to come back to a quiet neighborhood after being in the city all day.We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful Berny’s

Everything about our stay was amazing. The property, the accuracy of the listing, the communication, all of it. Most comfortable and peaceful as heck. Not a single negative about the place or the process.

Berny's needs some work. A good example is that the second you go to load the dishwasher, it just tips out completely. Many of the light switches do nothing, and a good number of the light bulbs were out. You can only use the hot tub from 6-10 pm, which is useless, and this information was not in the listing. Additionally, the front door is unusable, requiring you to walk to the back door, which is just annoying. Lastly, during our stay, the owner unexpectedly arrived, seeking access to the house without prior notice. They said, "We thought you were all gone," implying that they likely have cameras on the property, which they had not disclosed. A real violation of trust.

Thanks for your review—and for giving Berny’s a workout. It sounds like the house showed off both its quirks and its patience during your stay. Let’s dive in, shall we? First off, to clear up the biggest concern: there are absolutely zero cameras on the property. Not in the house, not outside, not hidden in the avocado tree. The owner happened to be on-site after your scheduled 11am checkout—watering fruit trees, not spying—when it became clear the house was still very much occupied. Now, about the house itself: yes, Berny’s has its quirks. The light switches all work—we just apparently have one for every mood and moon phase. The master bath hot and cold are reversed, which we agree feels like a cruel joke at 7 a.m. however the guests know this upon arrival. And the dishwasher? We know you didn't use it since all of your dishes were everywhere. As for the hot tub, you’re right—the 6–10pm use window wasn’t listed, which was our oversight. That info is now front and center in the listing. We'd love to keep it running all day, but unfortunately, the utility bill said “absolutely not.” Quick note on the front door: it works just fine, you can open it anytime during your stay but for security and simplicity, we only provide access through the keypad on the back door. No keys to lose, no lockouts, and no need to scale a windows to gain entry.Now—while we’re on the topic of quirks—let’s talk about what Berny’s looked like after your stay. Furniture was rearranged like a game of

Beautiful and spacious home. Lots of room to spread out. The pool and hot tub were well enjoyed. The location was great and just about 20-25 min away from everything we wanted to see and do.
