House checked all of the boxes - super clean, comfortable beds, well equipped, and great location. Plus off street garage parking was a big help. Look no further. I spent countless hours researching home rentals. Choosing this Chalcedony St. home was a wise choice.
This house was amazing! It was in a great location. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. We also took trips to zoo and Disney. The house was really nice inside and out.

Steve, so happy to know you had an amazing stay and enjoyed the location. We hope to host you again in the future!
The house was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for our group and the locations was perfect for us to visit family in San Diego and attend my grandsons wedding. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.
The property is beautiful and in a cute neighborhood. Great proximity to lots of fun things in San Diego - the Zoo, Balboa Park, Old Town, Gaslamp Quarter, Coronado and more! Every night we walked down to the beach to watch the sunset. We had a wonderful time!
We absolutely loved the property and the location.
The rooftop terrace was amazing! We were able to walk to the beach, shops and restaurants and just a short drive downtown and to Coronado. It was a great long weekend getaway.
There were 5 of us in the family traveling together from ages 28 to 83. We all loved the place! Loved the location, loved the accommodations, it was great having a garage to park in since parking is so limited in San Diego. Loved that we could contact the host anytime if needed. We would all recommend!
Very clean and spacious home in fabulous location. Communication and instruction on check in/check out was clear. Any questions/concerns were promptly responded too. Would absolutely stay again!
We enjoyed our stay. The home was just as beautiful as pictured and it was immaculate. We loved the private garage, 3 1/2 bathrooms, and the two beautiful rooftop decks. The home is a short 7 min. walk to the beach and restaurants are within walking distance. We had a difficult time sleeping on night one, because there was a locked closet at the foot of the bed in the master bedroom with the light on. We notified property mgmt. the next day. Then on night two, the light was mysteriously turned off. We can only assume that someone entered the property without notifying us first. We also noticed that the garbage cans were brought into the garage during our stay, and landscape workers startled me when they showed up unannounced early one morning and walked by the front door to mow the lawn. The front door is mostly glass, and I was sitting in my nightgown when I noticed a man walk by and look right at me. I would have appreciated being told that workers would be on the property. Overall, the property is beautiful and is close to anything you might want to do in San Diego.
Beautiful property with amazing location. Quiet street but easy walking to beach, bars, restaurants, coffee and shops! We appreciated use of the beach chairs, umbrella and bikes. We also loved hanging out on the rooftop balcony with the fire. Perfect spot for a family get away with our adult children.

Our entire family group agreed that this was the best rental experience we have had anywhere. The house was gorgeous and very well-equipped, and the Drift team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, including a couple of last minute requests, adding an extra special touch to what would have already been a 5-star stay. We can't wait for our next vacation at a Drift property!
