    Amanda’s VRBO was perfect for our family vacation in San Diego. The location is excellent. 10-20 minutes from everywhere you want to go and in a really quiet neighborhood that felt very safe. The space itself was really quaintly decorated making it welcoming and homey. Very clean! Great beds for all four of us. High ceilings make it feel big. We loved it!

    I was really surprised at how great if a location this is. I was prepared for traffic since it was a weekend in the Summer, but it seemed like we always ended up going against traffic. We didn't have any problems finding parking either.

    Wonderful stay for our spring break in San Diego. This property is centrally located to everything we wanted to do... the zoo, sea world, Coronado, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, etc. Never more than a 20 min drive (as long as you don't hit traffic times). Home was comfortable and had everything we needed. My teens loved the roof even though the igloo was down due to a wide storm. Would for sure recommend!
