The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Kids loved the ping pong table and spent most of their time in the pool. Would love to come back and do this trip again next year. Scott was an amazing host and quick to respond with any questions we had.

Amazing Rental House

Awesome house, fully apportioned. We had everything we needed…fully stocked pantry. Kitchen had gadgets and appliances we needed to make full meals each day. All the beds were comfortable. Best house I’ve ever rented for a short term vacation. Everyone could not believe how great the house was. Beautiful view from the backyard of the hills and ocean in the distance. Amazing sunset we were able to watch each evening. I can’t say enough good things about our stay in the home.

Large Family vacation

Scott was so nice and so easy to work with! He was very attentive to us, and his response was almost immediate. We really appreciated him!! We’re a large family who just love getting together, and Scott helped us with any questions we had. The house, itself, was amazing, simply amazing! We loved it so much and hope to go back someday! For a large family gathering, we had all the space we needed to be together, but still be comfortable, never feeling crowded, only grateful! Our grandkids cried as we left this beautiful home. They had so much fun, and did not want to leave. . Thank you so much, Scott for all of your help!

Why they chose this property

Probably one of the nicest Estates in all of San Diego. We custom built this home in 2008 to make it a very special place to live and Visit. Absolutely a show off home, After living at the beach for years it was a great idea to build a home in more of a private, safe and secluded area and still have access to what San Diego has to offer in a central location. Recently self closing gates installed around Pool area! Lots of room for Family and Friends with perfect reviews from such. Not part of the City of San Diego restricted rent areas.

What makes this property unique

Benefits of this home is pure Architecture at it's finest. Entertainment and Showing off is what it was built for. On top of that it is big and private. 20 people could be there and you would not know where they were. Quiet area. Cozy hideaways. Views to respect. It could be the best all around home in San Diego. Recently self closing gates installed around Pool area!
