We loved our stay at Chulavista! Perfect size home for our crew of 4 and furbaby. Very well kept and very clean. The big fenced in backyard is a major plus if you have pets. Loved the peaceful neighborhood and 2 min drive to the beach. The hosts were very communicative and responsive to any questions or concerns we had. 10/10. We will be back!

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Listing accuracy
This place was overpriced for what you were getting. The grass was decently high and the water in the bathtub barely came out lukewarm. The chairs on the upper deck had no cushions on them, so you couldn’t even enjoy them and chairs at the table on the covered porch had bird poop all over them. Check in process was super easy and the property manager gets back to you pretty quickly, but I feel this place was overpriced for what all you were getting. The description of it was not accurate.
