Coast to Cactus provided one of the Vrbo homes in San Diego for me and my family. House was in a safe neighborhood and easy access to the high school. Would do it again if I can! Thank you very much Coast to Cactus!

The house is older but has been updated, top end electronics, plenty of charging stations, great bedding, clean and a great Mid Century Modern look. The yard is well kept and the backyard was a gem, great for morning coffee. Some of the furniture was Ikea like but functional. I did wish they had a small book with instructions for the TV as we had to wonder through multiple menus to get it to work. If you are streaming savvy then you might not have an issue but I struggled, if you have apps and know how to log on remotely then it should not be an issue. Close to a neighborhood park, grocery nearby and access to the freeways.

La Jolla stay
Was happy with the property and location.I would suggest to have more dishes as there were only 4 large plates, also it would be nice to have some small tables with the chairs outside.

Perfect San Diego Vacation Home
We thoroughly enjoyed the location of this home and all of the amenities! Checking in was easy and the communication was excellent when we had questions. Getting to the San Diego and the USS Midway Museum took less than 20 minutes and we loved being close to La Jolla as well. We wished we had more time to stay to explore Balboa Park, but hope to do that on a return trip. This home was big for our family of 3 and had comfy beds, a pretty backyard with a nice birdbath to watch birds in the a.m. and had what we needed to make breakfast each day. Grocery stores were close by, which was nice! Our family liked the living room furniture for watching movies as well after a full day of taking in the sites of San Diego. Thanks again for such a perfect vacation home!

Enjoyed our stay during a stressful time
We highly recommend this wonderful home. We stayed 3 weeks while our daughter had a serious surgery at UCSD Heath. The home had the most comfortable beds, a very well appointed kitchen with every tool and appliance needed. The back yard, with its circular pathway was perfect for her rehab. The neighborhood had a lovely park at the end of the street for practice walking. They were responsive to our notice of a sprinkler leak. And we ate fresh peaches from their multiple fruit tree. It couldn’t have been better during a stressful time for my family. Thank you

Excellent Property well located, nice neighborhood, great location!
I like to travel SD with my family, my three kids are teens, so a hotel is not an option, i decide to switch for this home instead...best decision, house seems to be recently renovated, spacious, clean and very, very comfortable. It has an amazing yard and several fruit trees, lemons, apples, etc…the property is well equipped with all you need for a stay, we cook almost daily and you need nothing other than your groceries….i will definitely will stay here aging and planning to stay longer, when there we visited La jolla, pacific heights, Del Mar, torrey pines, all of then in a short distance drive….i also loved it had nice clean public spaces close, several parks to run or stroll around….
