We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carolyn’s house above Mission Bay. Carolyn was very responsive and communicated clearly.The house sits above Mission Bay, and provides excellent views of the bay and the ocean beyond. It was great to be able to relax in the hot tub, which is set in a well-cared-for back yard with multiple outdoor seating areas. Inside, the house was clean and comfortable. We liked being able to sit in the living/dining area and look out at the bay. Near the end of our stay, we were treated to a spectacular sunset.We will definitely stay here again if we get the opportunity.

Magnificent view!

The property is an upside down house which means the public spaces are up stairs so the view over the bay is amazing. The back patio was a quiet oasis and my son spent every night in the hot tub. Really hate to leave!

The perfect home for our family of five’s San Diego vacation. The house was spotless and had all of the amenities we needed. Carolyn, the owner communicated all of the information we needed and was easy to reach for any questions. Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything to see in San Diego. A 15 minute drive to Petco Park, San Diego Zoo, and several beaches.

Mother-son weekend in San Diego

Carolyn's house was the perfect place to enjoy a weekend of celebrating my son's birthday and remembering the loss of a loved one. The kitchen was well-equipped, the views from the deck overlooking Fiesta Island were fantastic, the neighborhood was quiet, and the hot tub in the backyard was a wonderful touch.
