Nice backyard

Backyard was great. The pool and slide were nice. Had some issues with the hottub, but someone came and looked at it promptly. The games outside were great for the family. Bedrooms were adequate. We ran out of serving spoons for Thanksgiving dinner, but otherwise well stocked. Plenty of towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent/dish soap.

Perfect Getaway Home

This house was perfect for our group. 5 rooms with beds. Clean bathrooms. The pool was very nice and the outdoor activities were a bonus. It was nice to sit in the backyard by the fire pit and have coffee or a beer. House was very spacious and accommodated us nicely. My only suggestion would be ceiling fans for the rooms, but other than that, a perfect stay. I would absolutely love to come back again. – House is close to SD Downtown. Maybe a 15 drive. Easy access to the freeway and a Target + Mall is literally 3 min away.

Great place with some concerns.

I'm giving this home 4 stars. Not a 5 because of these various issues: 1). The master bedroom with the large voltage ceilings off the kitchen had some mostly dying flying insects that we had to clean up. At first we thought they were ants but then we determined they were termites. They do not bite. We collected about 30 of them, again, mostly dead. Could not determine where they were coming from but after we cleaned up the 30 the first night/second day, we saw no more. The host was willing to come over and investigate so they were attentive. 2). Not many utensils (forks, spoons, etc). Or larger serving bowls. There's no way we could have done a Thanksgiving type meal with the kitchen supplies provided. Think simple meals here. 3). Areas of painted concrete in the pool area are very slick. One fall in our group. 4). The slide might rip your suit. They need to resurface it or something. One suit was torn. 5). Power washing is needed on the exterior. To remove the spider webs. The exterior needs to be cleaned better. Maybe a deep clean throughout. 6). The bath tubs are very slick and there is no $8 mat to help keep you from falling. We purchased two, used them, and then left one for one of the master bedrooms. 7). A lot of general wear and tear. So don't expect "well maintained". It's maintained at a minimum. 8). We were a group of ten and there was not enough toilet paper or paper towels. Bought extras and left them.

Annual SD trip

Nice home with ample rooms, not the most charming of neighborhoods but is close to shopping centers/ food/gas. We had problems with getting the house to cool to below 75 despite the temps outside being about the same with minimal circulation in the bedrooms and converted garage bunk room. Outside area was fun for the kids, however there is an ABUNDANCE of spider activity present. We had issues with hot tub on day 4/7 and it was not remedied during our stay despite immediate conversations with host and a pool man who never showed. So that was Disappointing. The rock slide is fun however it does need to be refinished, all 5 of the kids have holes in board shorts/tattered swim bottoms by the end of day 2. Overall convenient location but an exterminator and annual AC check up could go a long way.

Lovely Home

Overall, it was a lovely home. The owner was responsive to my questions once we arrived. There are a few things that prevented me from giving this rental a five star rating. The bedroom with the couch was very warm. The AC in the house was working properly, but that one room wasn't getting enough air. We ended up buying two fans to be able to sleep comfortably, and left them there for others to use. The other bedrooms didn't have any drawers to put clothes away, so those guests had to live out of their suitcases. Not ideal for a weeks long stay. The kitchen had plenty of items needed for cooking with the exception of cooking/serving spoons. We notified the owner, and he did say he would have some delivered, but that didn't happen. We ended up buying three and left those there as well. Again, lovely home and the pool and backyard area were very nice.

Great home with amazing backyard/pool 🤩

Rented this place for a small bachelor party get-together with 10 people. Most of our rowdiness was spent in downtown SD (15-20 min away), so we had no issues keeping noise levels down. The house had plenty of beds and a spacious living room. We spent most of our time in the backyard though. The outdoor living area and grill was fun to watch sports and take a break from the sun. The saltwater pool/spa was amazing. It was 65-70F during our stay so we had no need to heat it. Kevin was very attentive (he even let us check-in early!) and messaged us a few times throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. Overall 10/10 experience would definitely rent this house again for a large group.

If I had to say something that was needed, it would be: some type of tub grippers. Shower time for everyone was an event. I would absolutely recommend this property!

Close to Several San Diego Attractions but Very Dirty Property

We were looking forward to our stay on this property but in the end it fell short for many reasons. If I could upload pictures on here I would, to show everyone many of the issues/concerns we had. Although the property owner did reach out about how our stay was going, these are issues that most likely would not have been able to be resolved within the timeframe of our stay, so we did not mention them. 1. Overall, the property had a lot of dirt/dust and spiderwebs in multiple locations including windowsills and fans. Its obvious that only minimal areas are cleaned prior to renters arriving (counters, sheets, floors, etc). They also need to make sure regular maintenance/cleaning(blinds, baseboards, fans, etc) is done to provide a cleaner feel in the home. 2. The baseboards had dirty splashes all over them. I would understand a bit of dirt, but these were gross splashes and clearly had not been cleaned in a long time. 3. There was garbage already in several of the cans inside the house when we arrived, even though he expects the guests to empty them upon their departure. 4. There was no handle on the dryer. 5. The coffee maker was unusable because it was rusted in several areas including buttons and inside of the pot. 6. There were no batteries in the remote for the tv outside. 7. One of the adirondack chairs in the backyard was broken, so we were missing a seat for someone. 8. The whole house has a strong pet odor in it. Was really gross to not have it smelling clean. 9. The pool table pockets were all ripped so the balls would keep flying out the bottom while playing. They could at least do a temporary fix on it, not saying a whole new table. 10. The toilet seat in the hallway bathroom was broken/swiveling and wasnt even the correct size for the toilet. It was larger than the bowl. 11. Wifi didnt work across the house so the kids were unable to play their video games and phones didnt have connection via wi-fi We would not stay here again and feel that the house is overpriced for what it is. The owner was also overly communicative about the house rules. Within the messages, he reached out 3 different times about no noise after 9pm, 2 different times about putting out the garbage cans on Sunday and 2 different times about check out time. All of this information was in the house manual that he provides after booking the property and has a print out version in the property so this felt very excessive and annoying. We would not stay here again.
