Beautiful home

My husband and I, our sons and their wives came from all over the country to attend a family celebration of life in San Diego. The home was beautiful! Very spacious and private. There is an amazing view from the balcony, a sun-filled patio, and a quiet courtyard that's perfect for reading and quiet reflection. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Cute eclectic property!

We had the best time at this property - it’s comfortable and spacious. The outside gardens were beautiful and the view from the veranda was spectacular! We didn’t have a car, but had no issues with getting ride shares. Would definitely stay there again!

family time

we stayed in July 2022, there was 11 of us, 3 kids and 8 adults. We were there to go to SD Zoo, Seaworld and Lego Land. The home was a great place for us to hang out and relax in the evenings. There was plenty of room and everyone had there own space if he/she needed down time. The pictures of house are accurate. Loved the decor. Kids loved the lights at night in great room. Thank you for the beautiful home to enjoy.
